Bone wax has been used since the turn of the century as a mechanical aid to haemostasis following surgical procedures. That it may produce a foreign body giant cell reaction in a significant proportion of cases is well known. The occurrence of this material in specimens received in the laboratory is poorly documented. Four cases are described to bring attention to this exogenous agent which, it is suggested, should feature in tables of pigments and other materials occurring in tissue specimens.
自世纪之交以来，骨蜡一直被用作外科手术后止血的机械辅助材料。众所周知，在相当一部分病例中，它可能会引发异物巨细胞反应。实验室收到的标本中这种物质的出现情况记录很少。现描述4例以引起对这种外源性物质的关注，有人认为它应列入组织标本中出现的色素和其他物质的表格中。
