Abstract

Toxic epidermal necrosis (TEN) is a potentially fatal cutaneous condition that is typically brought on by medication. One of the most frequent classes of medications linked to drug-induced TEN are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicines (NSAIDS)(1,2).  Diclofenac is a recently developed NSAID that preferentially inhibits cyclooxygenase-2. It is frequently employed in the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions. In this report, a 80-year-old woman who received an IM diclofenac injection for bodily symptoms is described as having TEN caused by the drug.
