Case:A 12-year-5-month-old boy presented with a 3-month history of a 2 × 3-cm enlarging painful mass on the medial plantar aspect of his left foot. The radiograph was normal, but the magnetic resonance (MR) images clearly disclosed a foreign body in the shape of a toothpick that had been quiescent for 31 months. Thirty-three months after surgical removal, the patient was asymptomatic and had returned to full activity.Conclusion:A retained wood foreign body can present as an expanding mass, and MR is the modality of choice to image wood foreign bodies.

“…Notably, the 4 of 51 patients [20][21]31,41] initially underwent X-ray, but no foreign bodies were found. Ultrasound has an advantage in the diagnosis of long-lasting IOWFBs [55] , as shown in Case 5 (Table 1). The imaging findings include irregular spaceoccupying lesions of granulation tissue, low echo purulent cavity [55] or strong echo spots within the lesion.…”

“…Ultrasound has an advantage in the diagnosis of long-lasting IOWFBs [55] , as shown in Case 5 (Table 1). The imaging findings include irregular spaceoccupying lesions of granulation tissue, low echo purulent cavity [55] or strong echo spots within the lesion. However, ultrasound is rarely used in the clinical diagnosis of IOWFBs because foreign bodies are not always visible and cannot be accurately located in examinations [31] .…”

Intraorbital wooden foreign bodies: case series and literature review

et al. 2021

Intraorbital wooden foreign bodies (IOWFBs) constitute a relatively rare ocular trauma, which occupy a special type of intraorbital foreign bodies (IOFBs). Data regarding IOWFBs must be obtained from case reports or small case series due to their rarity. Here, we reported 5 cases of IOWFBs and reviewed the related literatures, which could provide comprehensive information regarding the clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and surgical treatment of IOWFBs. Combined with the published literature, a total of 51 independent cases were counted after we added 5 cases. Among them, the number of male and female patients was 35 and 16 respectively; the mean age was 27.3±18.2 (range 1-66)y. Obviously, the disorder seemed to occur mainly in young and middle-aged people. Because of the diversity in the clinical manifestations and imaging characteristics of IOWFBs, misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis often occur during the initial visit. Delayed diagnosis may lead to a high risk of orbital infection caused by IOWFBs. Surgery is the treatment of choice for most patients; however, the missed diagnosis and residue of foreign bodies after previous surgery cannot be ignored. Therefore, an accurate diagnosis is governed by the detailed trauma history, careful ocular examination, close observation of clinical manifestations, correct imaging diagnosis [e.g., magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computerized tomography (CT)], and timely and completely elimination of IOWFBs.

Wooden and plastic objects tend to generate posterior shadows, while crystal and metal FBs characteristically produce a strong reverberation artefact (Figure 7).…”

High-frequency ultrasonography represents a promising tool for pediatric dermatologists. It is a non-invasive diagnostic technique that is particularly appealing when working with children. It can be easily performed at the patient's bedside, avoiding diagnostic delays, sedation, or multiple visits. It represents a useful adjunct to clinical examination and can enhance our understanding of cutaneous diseases. Patient cooperation and limited training and experience are the main challenges for cutaneous ultrasonography in pediatric dermatology. This review describes cutaneous ultrasonography and the nuances of its use in the pediatric setting, followed by the ultrasonographic findings of cutaneous lumps, bumps, and inflammatory dermatoses commonly encountered in pediatric patients.
