Abstract
- Foreign-body reaction is characterised by a chronic, proliferative, inflammatory skin reaction. Histopathologically, foreign-body reaction typically exhibits a granulomatous response, which is marked by histiocytes and giant cells surrounding the foreign material. In addition, lymphocytes as well as plasma cells and neutrophils are usually present. The reaction can be caused by substances such as silk, nylon, wood, paraffin, silicon, talc, starch, oils, animal and vegetable spines or bristles and human hair. We report two cases of foreign-body reaction caused by wooden splinter, which has rarely been reported in previous literature.
