Drug induced rash is one of the most commonest type of adverse reaction to a drug therapy. There are different presentation types of drug-induced eruptions. The severe forms are easy to diagnose. But milder is a little difficult both clinically as well as at autopsy. Bleomycin-induced rash poses difficulties during gross examination, which can be interpreted as contusions. We highlight the importance of history of the case and suspicion of spurious contusions in the form of drug-induced eruptions.
