Three years after replacement of the left first metatarsophalangeal joint with a silicone prosthesis, a patient noted enlargement of a left femoral lymph node. Fine needle aspiration of the node revealed a foreign body giant cell reaction to particulates morphologically compatible with silicone elastomer. This finding suggests the potential utility of fine needle aspiration in the evaluation of patients' responses to a variety of foreign materials used in prosthetic devices and as pharmaceuticals.
在使用硅胶假体置换左第一跖趾关节三年后，一名患者发现左股淋巴结肿大。对该淋巴结进行细针穿刺抽吸，结果显示对形态上与硅橡胶相符的颗粒出现异物巨细胞反应。这一发现表明，细针穿刺抽吸在评估患者对用于假体装置和药物的各种异物材料的反应方面具有潜在用途。
