Localized inflammatory reactions in patients with past procedural history of intradermal injections can quickly drive the clinician's attention towards a diagnosis of soft-tissue infection in the context of symptoms such as fever, malaise, and local induration of the adipose panniculus. However, in patients with a long-term history of granulomatous events, a rheumatologic approach must be taken into consideration when the clinical course overwhelms the odds for more conventional diagnoses. In this case, a 39-year-old female patient who underwent bilateral lower limbs intradermal filllers presented with a two-year clinical course of repetitive flares of external bilateral hip tenderness, pain that limits her walking, soft-tissue nodular inflammation, redness, fever and a soft mobile nonpainful right supraclavicular lymphadenopathy.

Objective: This review investigates the association between physical trauma and the onset and progression of various inflammatory diseases, including psoriatic arthritis (PsA), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), spondyloarthropathies (SpA), and Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF). In addition, we will refer to the linkage between physical injury and skin manifestations in patients with psoriasis, sarcoidosis and systemic sclerosis. The aim is to summarize the current evidence and explore the potential mechanisms through which trauma may affect these conditions.
