Abstract
Noncaseating granulomas present as a delayed foreign-body reaction to retained pencil-core fragments. The clinical appearance of the lesion can closely resemble melanoma. Surgeons who use pencils as surgical marking implements should be aware that there is a potential risk of developing late pencil-core granulomas. This risk can be reduced by carefully removing any pieces of pencil lead from the wound.Entities:
