Bone granulomas (BGs) due to foreign bodies are a rare condition, especially in children, with only few cases reported in literature. As foreign bodies are not always visible on imaging, BGs can mimic bone tumors. We hereby present a case of a six-year-old boy with histopathologically confirmed BG of his right hand fifth finger due to intraosseous foreign bodies, along with imaging work-up.
异物所致骨肉芽肿(BGs)是一种罕见病症,尤其在儿童中,文献报道的病例很少。由于异物在影像学上不一定可见,BGs可能会被误诊为骨肿瘤。我们在此报告一例6岁男孩右手小指因骨内异物导致组织病理学确诊的BG病例,并附上影像学检查结果。
