J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 2020 Dec 11:57:e92-e95. doi: 10.3928/01913913-20200915-01.

Abstract

The authors report a case of a synthetic fiber granuloma to demonstrate the challenges in diagnosing these lesions and to highlight their histopathologic features. This is the first report in the literature to use histopatho-logic and immunofluorescence studies to characterize the subtype and distribution of macrophages in synthetic fiber granuloma.
