Cutaneous mercury granuloma is rarely encountered. Clinically it may pose difficulty in diagnosis. Here, we report a 23-year-old male presented with erythematous, nodular lesions over the forearm and anterior aspect of chest wall. Metallic mercury in tissue sections appear as dark black, opaque, spherical globules of varying size and number. They are surrounded by granulomatous foreign-body reaction. It is composed of foreign body giant cells and mixed inflammatory infiltrate composed of histiocytes, lymphocytes, plasma cells, and few eosinophils.
皮肤汞肉芽肿很少见。临床上它可能在诊断上存在困难。在此，我们报告一名23岁男性，其前臂和胸壁前部出现红斑性结节性病变。组织切片中的金属汞表现为大小和数量各异的深黑色、不透明球形颗粒。它们被肉芽肿性异物反应所包围。它由异物巨细胞和由组织细胞、淋巴细胞、浆细胞及少量嗜酸性粒细胞组成的混合性炎症浸润构成。
