BACKGROUND: Foreign body granuloma is an inflammatory tissue reaction to exogenous material. Classically it appears on the face after aesthetic procedures. Herein we report for the first time three cases of facial granulomatous reactions to microbeads after arterial cervico-facial embolization.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: Three patients underwent embolization of the facial arteries using Embogold® microbeads in a setting of epistaxis or tumoral hemostasis. Within 10 to 45 days painful, inflammatory, subcutaneous nodules appeared on the homolateral side of the face. Histological samples showed an inflammatory response with giant cells as well as the presence of microbeads in the skin. A favorable outcome was achieved with colchicine in one patient and with surgery in another; the third patient was lost to follow-up.
DISCUSSION: The embolizing microspheres produced a local inflammatory reaction, with destruction of the vascular wall and bead migration to facial tissue leading to a granulomatous reaction. The occurrence of three cases within a period of few weeks, with several different operators and batches of products, is surprising considering the long-standing use of the product. There was no common comorbidity in the patients and no suggestion of trauma. Retrospective analysis of the product batches was normal. Gold staining could play a role in severe inflammatory response to Embogold® particles.
CONCLUSION: These three cases illustrate the value of discussing potential foreign body granulomatous reaction in cases of facial nodules following cervico-facial embolization. Colchicine may offer a valuable therapeutic alternative.
