The spores of Lycopodium (L) clavatum were used as a component of a dusting powder in many hospitals during the 1920's and 1930's. When L spores enter surgical wounds a lesion clinically resembling tuberculosis or neoplasia may develop months or even years later. We recently encountered a case of L granuloma occurring in a patient 50 years after an appendectomy. Three additional cases found in the files of the AFIP are also reported.
在20世纪20年代和30年代,许多医院将石松孢子用作撒粉的成分。当石松孢子进入手术伤口时,数月甚至数年之后可能会出现临床上类似结核病或肿瘤的病变。我们最近遇到一例在阑尾切除术后50年发生石松肉芽肿的患者。还报告了在武装部队病理研究所档案中发现的另外三例病例。
