The Foreign Body Granuloma Of A Plant Thorn Preoperatively Detected By Ultrasonography

Abstract

We report herein a case of a small foreign body granuloma that was detected preoperatively by ultrasonography in spite of the patient's unawareness of injury by a plant thorn. We propose that high-performance ultrasonography is valuable for routine preoperative examination of soft tissue tumors even if they are tiny in size.
