A Case of Wood Fragment Foreign Body in the Masseter Muscle

Bone lesions resulting from embedded plant thorns or wooden splinters have been reported,1-7 though rarely. Despite the fact that the majority of cases have occurred in children, no description appears in the English pediatric literature. We have recently seen a child with an osteomyelitis-like lesion in whom, after a considerable delay in diagnosis, an embedded wood fragment was found. A search of the literature revealed a striking similarity in the presenting signs and symptoms of our patient to those described, prompting this report and literature review. CASE REPORT A 12-year-old boy was admitted to the pediatric service with a two-week history of swelling and erythema of the dorsum of the left foot.

Bullet Injury

All manner of foreign bodies have been extracted from the bladder. Introduction into the bladder may be through self-insertion, iatrogenic means or migration from adjacent organs. Extraction should be tailored according to the nature of the foreign body and should minimise bladder and urethral trauma. We report a case of a bullet injury to the bladder, which finally presented as a gross hematuria after remaining asymptomatic for four years. We present here an alternative to suprapubic cystostomy with a large bladder foreign body treated via a combined transurethral unroofing followed by removal using a grasper passed through a suprapubic laparoscopic port.
