M G Angelos, C A Sheets, P R Zych.   

Abstract

Presented is the case of a 36-year-old man using central venous sites for injection of street drugs. X-ray study revealed numerous retained subcutaneous needles as well as a needle that had embolized to the lung periphery. This represents, to the best of our knowledge, a previously unreported complication of central venous injection of street drugs.
