Dermatol Online J. 2014 Oct 15;20(10):13030/qt10w3j0ss.

Abstract

Enoxaparin sodium is a heparin of low molecular weight with antithrombotic properties that acts by inhibiting factor Xa. We present a 59-year-old woman who developed heparin-related bullous hemorrhagic dermatosis, at sites distant from the injections, one month after starting treatment with enoxaparin.
