| ABSTRACT |
|
Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) is a systemic disease that affects the skin and other tissues in patients with renalinsufficiency and exposure to gadolinium-containing contrast. A 55-year-old woman with end-stage renal disease on hemodialysiswas consulted for progressive general weakness. After she had undergone multiple MRIs with gadolinium-containing contrastmedia, muscle weakness and skin lesions were developed. Her skin and muscle biopsy specimens showed CD34+ fibroblastentrapping collagen bundles. There are few reports of NSF with myopathy. |
