A Case of Graphite Foreign Body Misdiagnosed
INTRODUCTION
Injury by a pencil is common and usually trivial. However, several reports indicate that stab injuries caused by pencils can result in undesirable reactions, such as pigmentation, abscess formation, and soft tissue reaction. There are only a few previous case reports in literature of pencil core granuloma presenting to dermatologists, plastic surgeons, ophthalmologists, and neurosurgeons as a suspected melanoma, soft tissue sarcoma, hemangioma or abscess. Here we report a 19-year-old woman with a foreign body, the lead of a pencil, mis- diagnosed as a blue nevus.
