Abstract

In illicit drug use, "skin popping" refers to the method of administering drugs by injecting it into the subcutaneous tissue. "Skin popping" can lead to acute and chronic skin manifestations caused by the drug itself and/or by the various adulterants and fillers commonly added to drug substances. Chronic skin manifestations include a foreign-body reaction with formation of granulomas at the site of injection. We present the F-FDG PET/CT findings of extensive subcutaneous granulomas in a 58-year-old woman with a heroin addiction undergoing treatment for infective endocarditis of the mitral valve.
