Abstract

Cutaneous silica granuloma is a rarely seen condition that can occur frequently due to traumatic conditions. However, it may be idiopathic. It is generally localized in the face or extremities. The period between the exposure of silica into the body and the formation of the granuloma can change from weeks to decades. Thus, the lesion is often underdiagnosed. The treatment varies between intralesionel steroid injection, sistemic steroids and antibiotics, and surgical excision of the lesion. We present a case with typical findings in this lesion which had been treated by surgical exision. Since we did not find any recurrence both in near and far follow-up periods, we believe that surgical excision is an effective method for the treatment of cutaneous silica granuloma.

Özet

Kutanöz silika granülomu ender görülen, daha çok travmaya sekonder veya idiopatik olarak yüz ve ekstremitelerde yerlesen bir yabancı cisim reaksiyonudur. Silika maddesinin vücuda girmesi ve granülom olusumu arasındaki zaman birkaç hafta ile onlarca yıl arasında değisebilir. Bundan dolayı kutanöz silika granülomu tanısı genellikle atlanan bir tanıdır. Bu lezyonların tedavisi; intralezyonel steroid enjeksiyonu, sistemik streoid ve antibiyotik tedavisi veya cerrahi eksizyon olarak çesitlilik gösterir. Bu yazıda, kutanöz silika granülomunun karakteristik özelliklerini tasıyan ve tedavi olarak cerrahi eksizyon uygulanan bir hastamızı sunuyoruz. Hastamızda, eksizyon sonrası yakın ve uzun dönem takiplerinde herhangi bir nükse rastlanmaması nedeniyle, cerrahi eksizyonun bu hastalığın tedavisinde etkili bir yöntem olduğu kanısındayız.
