Skin staining due to iron extravasation is a rare adverse reaction that can leave a long-term staining of the skin. Presenting Concerns of the Patients: During iron derisomaltose infusion, patient reported iron extravasation. Five months after the incident, the skin stain related to the extravasation was still present. Diagnosis: A case of skin staining due to iron derisomaltose extravasation was diagnosed.
