Abstract EN
Case.
An unusual case of a foreign body in the hand is described here.
Excision of a tumor-like soft tissue mass revealed a 75-year-old World War II bullet fragment of which patient was unaware.
Conclusion.
Differential diagnosis of hand lumps and inflammatory reaction must always include retained foreign bodies even after a very long period of posttraumatic quiescence or patient’s inability to provide a relative injury case history.
