Résumé
Bee sting therapy is said to have been practised since the age of ancient Egypt. Some people believe in the benefit of apitherapy for articular inflammation, hematoma, sciatica, hay fever, etc. However, honeybee has several venoms that may induce various clinical and histopathological findings. We report a case of foreign-body granuloma after honeybee acupuncture for polyarthralgia. To our knowledge, this is the first report of foreign-body granuloma developing at an acupunctured site in English literature.
