A paraspinal foreign body reaction is a rare condition that can cause severe neurological complications or death. However, the condition is often neglected. The authors report a case of a paraspinal textiloma that was diagnosed and treated with a surgical excision.

PURPOSE: Infection, foreign body reaction and decreased volume of implant are common complications after augmentation rhinoplasty with Gore-tex(R) implant. The author experienced two cases of recurrent foreign body granuloma in the patients who underwent Gore-tex(R) removal because of infection after augmentation rhinoplasty. and treated them with complete removal of Gore-tex(R). METHODS: Case 1: A 49 year-old female visited our clinic for recurrent foreign body reaction on nasal dorsum and tip area. The patient underwent augmentation rhinoplasty with Gore-tex(R) 3 years ago and implant was removed due to infection 9 months ago. Excision of the granuloma was performed and a piece of foreign body suspicious to be a Gore-tex(R) implant debris was detected under the subcutaneous pocket. The implant fragments were removed and nasalis muscle rotation flap was performed to cover the lesion. The specimen was proved to be Gore-tex(R) in histological study. Case 2: A 31 year-old-male with recurrent foreign body granuloma on the nasal tip area visited our clinic. 10 years ago, the patient had augmentation rhinoplasty with silicone implant and then, he underwent revisional rhinoplasty five times including nasal implant removal, which was performed 9 months ago. The authors excised the granuloma and found a small sized foreign body suspicious to be a Gore-tex(R) implant debris under the granuloma. The foreign body was excised and identified to be Gore-tex(R) in histological study. RESULTS: In both cases, the lesions were healed without any complications and there were no evidences of recurrence up to 6 months of follow-up. CONCLUSION: The Gore-tex(R) is known to be weak against mechanical force. These properties of Gore-tex(R) make it difficult to remove the implant completely. In the patient who have infection after augmentation rhinoplasty with Gore-tex(R), the operator should take care to perform the complete removal without remaining fragment of the implant.

To exanime in vivo tissue reactions of glass fibers, we injected glass fibers to rats subcutaneously. We made fibers of average dimensions of approximately 2 nm in diameter and 60 nm in length. After instilation of glass fiber we sacrificed rats sequentially at 1, 3 and 6 months. At 1 month after injection of glass fibers, the exposure area turned to yellow color and formed well-demarcated round mass. The average size of the mass was 1X0.3 cm. Grossly detectable mass was decreased in size at 6 months compared to 1 or 3 months. Microscopically, strong foreign body reaction to glass fibers, inflammation and fibrosis were observed until 6 months. Foreign body reaction was increased up to 3 months, but it was decreased after 6 months. In scanning electron microscope, there was many bundles of glass fibers around the inflammation area, but the size of glass fibers were gradually reduced from 1 month to months. These results suggest that subcutaneous exposure of glass fiber can provoke strong tissue reaction including foreign body granulomas, inflammation and fibrosis. But glass fiber itself did not produce any neoplastic changes.

Gossypiboma is referred to as surgical gauze or sponge left in the body of a patient inadvertently following surgery. There are two types of foreign body reaction in the body. The first type is exudative, with the resultant formation of an abscess with or without bacterial invasion and usually causes related clinical symptoms shortly after surgery. The second type is aseptic with extensive adhesions and encapsulating in a foreign body granuloma. Gossypiboma typically have an inconsistent radiologic appearance determined by the time, the type of material and the anatomical location. Furthermore, radio-opque markers are sometimes disintegrated or fragmented over times and ultrasound or CT may be indistinguishable from intra-abdominal abscess or tumor. We report 71-year-old woman in whom gossypiboma is severely adherent with ileal loop caused by pelvic mass.

The most common surgically retained foreign body is t506e laparotomy sponge, and since cotton sponges are inert, they do not undergo any specific decomposition or biochemical reaction. Pathologically, however, two types of foreign body reaction occur: either type there is an aseptic fibrinous response that creates adhesions and encapsulation, resulting in a foreign-body granuloma, or the response is exudative in nature and leads to abscess formation with or without secondary bacterial invasion. We describe the case of a 52-year-old woman with a past history of cholecystectomy in whom a foreign-body abscess mimicked a hepatic tumor. Index words : Peritoneum, abscess Foreign bodies

Most insects including the honeybee cause erythema and edema at the site of a sting in non-allergic individuals. This reaction usually resolves within a few days. However, in certain cases, the persistence of inciting materials in the cutaneous tissue may promote a local inflammatory foreign body reaction. Localized nodular lesions were seen in our two patients and erythemstous patches were present in one patient due to rarely encountered complications induced by retained sting materials. In these cases histopathology showed multiple foci of foreign body granuloma containing yellow refraetile material in the center surrounded by histiocytes and foreign body giant cells. The granulomatous skin lesions in these patients were treated with intralesional injections of triamcinolone acetonide and partial excisions of the nodular masses were performed.

There are various types of foreign body reactions, such as inflammation, edema, fluid collection, hematoma, infection, abscess and granulomas. There are various imaging findings according to types of foreign bodies and depending on the lapse of time. Therefore, correct diagnosis of a foreign body reaction is difficult and easily confused with soft tissue neoplasm. The MRI is ideal for the detection of foreign bodies regardless of radiolucency or acoustic impedance. It is especially very useful in the evaluation of the surrounding tissue reaction. The authors report a case of a 26-year-old female patient with both forearm swelling due to self-injection of a mixture of powdered tablets and saline. The lesion shows numerous internal T1 and T2 dark signal intensity micro-spots with surrounding fluid collection, which are diagnosed as foreign bodies with surrounding inflammatory changes during an operation.
