Foreign Body Granulomas Induced by Intramuscular Leuprorelin Acetate Injection for Prostate Cancer: Clinical Mimics of Soft Tissue Sarcoma
We describe two cases of florid, foreign body granulomatous reaction occurring in the upper arms of males in their eighth decade, who were undergoing treatment with depot injection of leuprorelin acetate for prostatic carcinoma. These patients presented with rapidly enlarging extremity soft tissue masses and were referred to a tertiary sarcoma center with clinical suspicion of a primary soft ti...
متن کاملInjection Site Granulomas Resulting from Administration of Leuprorelin Acetate
Leuprorelin acetate is a luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist and was launched in 1997. It has been used for sex hormone-dependent diseases such as prostate cancer, endometriosis, premenopausal breast cancer, and central precocious puberty. In Japan, a preparation for administration at monthly intervals (Leuprin®) has been available since 1999, and a continuous sustained release...
متن کاملInjection-site granulomas resulting from the administration of both leuprorelin acetate and goserelin acetate for the treatment of prostatic cancer.
Although injection-site granulomas caused by leuprorelin acetate have been reported, there have been no reports of granulomas caused by both leuprorelin acetate and goserelin acetate. An 81-year-old man presented with subcutaneous nodules of the abdominal wall and upper arm, where 11.25 mg of leuprorelin acetate had been injected for the treatment of prostate cancer. Because of these nodules, t...
متن کاملBilateral injection-site granuloma by subcutaneous administration of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone analogue: a case report
We report a typical case of injection-site granuloma attributed to subcutaneous administration of leuprorelin acetate, an LHRH agonist. A 70-year-old man who had undergone total prostatectomy and was subsequently given leuprorelin injections for prostatic cancer presented with bilateral nodules in the lower abdominal wall. An excisional biopsy revealed a non-caseous epithelioid granuloma consis...
متن کاملInjection-site granulomas due to the administration of leuprorelin acetate for the treatment of prostatic cancer.
Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH) analogues have become the main focus of androgen deprivation therapy for prostatic cancer. The occurrence of injection-site granulomas due to the administration of LH-RH analogues has been thought to be a rare reaction. We herein report a rare case presenting injection-site granuloma due to the administration of leuprorelin acetate, mimicking metast...
