| Abstract: Soft tissue foreign bodies (FB) represent a common cause for emergency department visits. Diagnosis may be difficult especially with non-radiopaque FB. The clinical course may be complicated by superficial or deep tissue infection. Use of imaging modalities such as ultrasound may be important for early diagnosis. We report a case of retained foreign body with a complicated clinical course and discuss imaging modalities that may have aided in the early diagnosis. |
