Abstract
Pigmentation is a well-recognized complication of minocycline use. This is the first reported case of ossicular chain pigmentation as a consequence of this drug. Isolated pigmentation of the lenticular process of the incus bone was noted. The structural integrity and function of the ossicular chain was not influenced by these changes.
