Enoxaparin-induced generalized exanthem.

Adverse cutaneous reactions to low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) are uncommon in the literature. They are usually localized reactions such as ecchymoses, erythematous plaques, and nodules. Only one case of a generalized maculopapular rash with enoxaparin has been reported in Europe. To our knowledge, this is the first case reported in the English literature of a generalized exanthem due to subcutaneous injection of enoxaparin.

Multiple cutaneous granular cell tumors: a case report and review of the literature.

Granular cell tumors are benign neoplasms derived from Schwann cells. Their clinical presentation ranges from large verrucose nodules, as in our patient, to small, nonspecific, subcutaneous papules. Approximately half of granular cell tumors develop in the head-and-neck region, most commonly on the tongue. Multiple granular cell tumors are not a sign of malignancy and may be more common than generally reported.
