Abstract
The temporal relationship between pigmentation and onset of drug effect, resolution following drug withdrawal, and exclusion of other causes support the diagnosis of drug-induced hyperpigmentation. Microscopic examination may be contributory to diagnosis, as there are differences among drugs with regard to the distribution of pigment granules and the histochemical reactions of the drugs.
