Abbreviations
- Foreign body (FB)
Synonyms
- Chronic FB: FB granuloma, giant cell granulomatous reaction, fibrohistiocytic reaction
Definitions
- Penetrating injury leads to soft tissue FB deposition
- Injury & retention of FB may not be recognized/recalled
- Chronic FB may lead to mass of granulomatous reaction
- Penetrating injury leads to soft tissue FB deposition
