Presentation
Five of 21 cases presented with pain. Histopathologically, CHA presented as a diffuse mass of mauve-gray or beige, nonrefractile spherules, and PLA as rice- or spindle-shaped, geometric, refractile bodies within circumscribed nodules. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Entire Body System

Soft Tissue Mass
Emergency surgical exploration revealed a 7 5 4 cm soft tissue mass which was adherent to the external inguinal ring, emanating from the end of the tension-free vaginal tape at the level of the symphysis pubis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Face, Head & Neck

Wide Neck
Flow diverter stents are new important tools in the treatment of large, giant, or wide-necked aneurysms. Their delivery and positioning may be difficult due to vessel tortuosity. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Breast

Breast Mass
A breast mass caused by foreign body type granulomatous reaction to surgical material is a very rare lesion and may mimic carcinoma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Neurologic
-
Intracranial Hemorrhage
Common adverse events include intracranial hemorrhage and ischemic stroke, which usually occurs within the same day, or the next few days after the procedure. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
[…] surrounded by variable amounts of lymphocyte predominant chronic inflammation and reactive dermal fibrosis Foreign body is often refractile but may or may not be polarizable; examination with polarized light is useful component of granulomatous dermatitis workup [pathologyoutlines.com]
Biopsy

Foam Cell
The pathological evaluation of the biatrial device associated appositions revealed hytrophic heart muscle tissue with perifocal scarring and purulent abscess-forming, granulating and foam-cell including inflammatory foreign body reaction instead of the [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
General practitioners and specialists should be aware of alternate treatment plans and treatment procedures and take these into consideration whenever there is a postoperative problem to be solved. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Etiology
The few case reports describing pretibial cyst formation noted several graft types and fixation techniques, making it difficult to establish one etiology. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Since it began to be used, cases that simulate tumor recurrence have been described in neurosurgery, gastrointestinal, and cardiac surgery, forcing additional examinations to determine an etiology of foreign body granulomatous reactions. [1], [2], [3] [thoracicmedicine.org]

MRI is impractical for routine foreign body detection in the ED but should be considered in cases of longstanding wounds or focal infections with unknown etiology in which the presence of a foreign body is being considered. [51, 52] Ultrasonography The [emedicine.medscape.com]
Epidemiology
In addition, the clinical and epidemiological profile of this condition is summarized, based on a review of the English-language literature of all previously described cases. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Recognition of these effects in patients is hampered by a lack of epidemiological studies. Keywords 6) Autoimmunity. 2007 Nov;40(7):512-20. [meshproblems.weebly.com]
Pathophysiology
Varies widely depending on type of foreign material Sites Most commonly presents at site(s) of initial cutaneous injury Rare "migratory" granulomas are due to visible dermatologic lesions remote from initial site of injury ( Ann Diagn Pathol 2015;19:10 ) Pathophysiology [pathologyoutlines.com]
The pathophysiology of these extrusions is unclear, however the extrusions usually occur 2 months after placement [ 15 ]. [jscholaronline.org]
Prevention
AIM: The purpose of this case report is to stress the importance of taking a proper history and the appropriate evaluation of diagnostic tests in order to prevent incorrect diagnosis and treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
