“…Table 1 summarizes the main features of eight documented cases of oral graphite tattoos and the present one. A case where diagnosis was based on the lack of amalgam restorations in the mouth, but the microscopic description is more consistent with silver deposition [14], and a case where pencil cores were implanted into the maxillary bone but did not cause mucosal discoloration [15], are not included.…”

Introduction: We present an unusual case of a graphite foreign body granuloma causing palatal perforation. Case description: A 62-year-old female presented with a macule on the hard palate clinically consistent with a blue nevus. On biopsy a black nodular mass was excised, establishing oroantral communication that was verified by a computed tomography scan. A diagnosis of malignant melanoma was strongly suspected, but microscopic examination showed a graphite foreign body granuloma. It was suggested that the graphite was implanted in a thin area of the palatal bone causing perforation. Conclusion: Graphite tattoos should be excised, both for diagnostics purposes and the possibility of causing tissue destruction by generating a foreign body granuloma reaction.

Pediatric penetrating brain injuries with intact neurological function: Two case reports of a pencil and a toy wheel encounter

Accidental injuries in the pediatric population are common. The response to injury also differs owing to anatomical and physiological differences in children. While such injuries carry a risk of lifelong morbidity, some cases may follow a benign course despite their distressing appearance. We report two cases of accidentally incurred penetrating trauma in the pediatric population with unusual objects, including a pencil and a toy wheel. Despite their intracranial extension, neither of the patients exhibited any discernible neurological deficits. Penetrating brain injuries require early removal and meticulous perioperative care to minimize the risk of long-term adverse neurological events in children.
