Gluteal fibrosis
A Peiro, CI Fernandez and F Gomar
Five cases of gluteal fibrosis are presented. The anatomical extent of the
gluteal involvement explains the clinical picture. Reports of gluteal
fibrosis and fibrosis elsewhere suggest that the lesion was the same in all
five patients. Intramuscular injections were a possible etiological factor.
All the reported sites were those usually used for administration of
intramuscular injections. Because the use of intramuscular injection is so
common in Spain another factor is necessary to explain the involvement in
only a small number of children.
