Foreign body granuloma is a tissue reaction for retained foreign bodies after skin-penetrating trauma. Detection of retained foreign bodies can be extremely difficult when the patients present with non-specific symptoms such as pain and/or swelling without recognizing a previous trauma. We report three patients of foreign body granulomas in the lower extremities with emphasis placed on their un...

PURPOSE To report a case of insect corneal foreign body with in vivo confocal microscopy performed. METHODS Clinical presentation, clinical pictures, and treatment are discussed. Confocal microscopy of the injured cornea was performed in areas showing foreign bodies with and without infiltrations seen under the slit-lamp. CONCLUSION Confocal microscopy is useful in detection of subtle infla...

statement of problem: the goal of bone regenerative therapy is to reconstruct the damaged tissues to initial condition, which seems so important in periodontoiogy and implantology. in such therapies, different biomaterials, with some advantages and disadvantages, may by use.purpose: the aim of this research was to evaluate the quality, bone trabecular density and thickness of newly forming bone...

Introduction: Determination of type and location of trapped objects and endoscopic observations among children with foreign-body ingestion. Materials and Methods: We evaluated 105 endoscopic records of patients presenting with foreign-body ingestion from 2001–2011. Results: Button batteries were the most common objects removed (41%). The lower segment of the esophagus was the most common trappi...

A 42-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital because of odynophagia and neck pain after swallowing a piece of bone. Anteroposterior (AP) and lateral neck X-ray showed the foreign body. Rigid esophagoscopy under general anesthesia was performed and foreign body extracted by rigid bronchoscopy.

The foreign body reaction is one of the oldest host defense mechanisms against tissue damage which involves inflammation, scarring, and encapsulation. The chemical carcinogen methylcholanthrene (MCA) induces fibrosarcoma and tissue damage in parallel at the injection site. Tumor development induced by MCA but not due to p53-deficiency is increased in interferon-gamma receptor (IFN-gammaR)-defic...
