Although pyogenic granulomas are often clinically associated with foreign bodies or recurrent traumatic injury, this association is not well documented. We report a case of a recurrent, intractable pyogenic granuloma due to a missed foreign body. An extensive search retrieved no previous literature reporting this association. This lack of evidence bases may hinder the hand surgeon from extending the wound incision and thorough exploration. Recurrent pyogenic granulomas should lead the hand surgeon to entertain the possibility of a missed foreign body.
虽然化脓性肉芽肿在临床上常与异物或反复创伤性损伤相关,但这种关联并无充分文献记载。我们报告一例因异物漏诊导致的复发性、难治性化脓性肉芽肿病例。广泛检索未发现此前有文献报道这种关联。缺乏循证依据可能会阻碍手外科医生扩大伤口切口并进行彻底探查。复发性化脓性肉芽肿应促使手外科医生考虑存在异物漏诊的可能性。
