Popis:	Testosterone esters are administered in oil vehicle via the intramuscular route. Rarely, dry cough together with faintness, diaphoresis, anxiety and syncope caused by pulmonary oil microembolism(POME) may occur. POME events are generally self-limited and last a few minutes. Very rarely they need oxygen therapy. Pathophysiology is still unclear. Here we report a case of POME occurring shortly after injection of testosterone undecanoate. The patient, a transmen on cross-gender hormonal treatment, was worried for the possible withdrawal of testosterone therapy. We reassured him and explained that he could continue his treatment provided that testosterone injections should be kept properly administered Atti della Accademia Peloritana dei Pericolanti - Classe di Scienze Medico-Biologiche, Vol 106, No 2 (2018)
