“…The non-silicone comparative group did not include porous polyethylene and include only four cases of titanium mesh. Additionally, the mean follow-up in the study was on average of 3.5 months, which would not identify the delayed complications of silicone implants 202122232425…”

There is a lack of consensus regarding preferred implant materials for orbital floor fracture reconstruction, leading to surgeon- and institution-dependent preferences. A variety of implants are used for orbital floor fracture reconstruction, each with their own complication profile. Knowledge of different implant materials is critical to identifying complications when they present. We report a delayed periorbital abscess 5 years after orbital floor reconstruction using a silicone implant.

“…But if not removed adequately, these drains may act as foreign bodies and induce chronic granulomatous wound. 1,2,3,4,5 These chronic granulomatous wound may be misdiagnosed as other lesion, such as abscess, epidermal cyst, or other neoplasm. The authors have experienced a case of a chronic granulomatous wound treated with wide excision and primary closure, and report our experience.…”

Chronic granulomatous lesion can mimic surgical wound inflammations, abscesses, ganglion cysts, lipomas or neoplastic lesions. We report a case of a patient with a recurrent chronic granuloma (1 × 1 cm 2) of the right cheek that was refractory to conservative measures. On radiologic examination, a 5 cm linear radioopaque material was detected. The patient underwent explorative surgery and a silastic drain was found that was not removed ten years ago after reduction of a zygomatic fracture. A unique case of a misplaced silastic drain that was put 10-year ago, presenting itself as a chronic granulomatous lesion is reported.
