Résumé
Hemosiderosis consists of an iron deposit in tissues, which does not cause organic damage to them. However, in the case of the skin, being an organ exposed to sight, siderosis can produce a brownish coloration that is aesthetically discomforting for the individual. Most cutaneous sideroses are because of venous insufficiency with hemorrhagic extravasation. There is also a group secondary to iron extravasation in the injection site of the transfusion. However, there are very few cases in which an intravenous injection of an iron preparation has produced diffuse siderosis in extensive areas of the skin. We present the case of a 31-year-old woman with hyperhidrosis, who was transfused as a result of postpartum hemorrhage and, shortly after receiving an intravenous iron infusion, developed extensive hyperpigmentation in both axillae.
