Sumario:A chemical burn resulting from luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonists (LHRHa) is a rare adverse effect that has not been well-documented in prior literature. In this case report, we report a partial-thickness burn that developed following a single subcutaneous injection of goserelin. To our knowledge, this is the first description of goserelin-induced chemical burn in the literature. The importance of early identification and treatment of LHRHa-associated cutaneous reactions must be highlighted to ensure optimal oncologic management and patient comfort.
