ABSTRACT
En la actualidad, la inyección de materiales en el subcutáneo con fin estético es frecuente. Comunicamos el caso de una paciente con lesiones esclerodermiformesen ambas regiones pretibiales, en cuyo estudio histopatológico se observó un granuloma por silicona. Años atrás la paciente se había sometido ala inyección de un material de relleno en la región glútea. Se trata, por tanto, de un granuloma de cuerpo extraño por silicona que ha migrado a distanciadel lugar de la inoculación. El diagnóstico de este cuadro puede ser difícil. El tratamiento es complicado y, en general, no satisfactorio
Nowadays inoculation of materials for soft tissues augmentation is common. We report the case of a woman with sclerodermiform lessions in pretibialregions, characterized by a silicone granuloma. The histopathologic study in some years ago, she have seen inoculated of an unknown material in glutealregion. This case is a foreing body granuloma caused by silicone migrated from the inoculation site. Diagnosis of this conditions disease may bedifficult, and treatment is often unsatisfactory

Dermatobia hominis y Cordylobia anthropophaga son los principales agentes etiológicos de miasis foruncular. Clínicamente se manifiesta como nódulos con un poro central por el cual puede observarse ocasionalmente la salida de la larva. Es un cuadro típico de zonas tropicales, que observamos en nuestro medio en turistas e inmigrantes. Presentamos un caso de miasis foruncular importado de Perú
The most common flies worldwide causing furuncular cutaneous myiasis are Dermatobia hominis and Cordylobia anthropophaga. Clinically this disease manifests nodular lesions containing a central pore, and sometimes the larva protrudes from the central opening. It is a disease typical of tropical areas, however it can also be seen in temperate zones in tourists and immigrants. Here we describe a case of furuncular myiasis imported from Peru

En los últimos años, ha aumentado la demanda de intervenciones estéticas de relleno de partes blandas mediante inyección de diversas sustancias, dada su aparente inocuidad. Sin embargo, estos procedimientos no están exentos de reacciones adversas, como la formación de granulomas de cuerpo extraño, fenómeno descrito en la literatura médica con la mayoría de los materiales utilizados. Comunicamos el caso de una paciente con lesiones inflamatorias en la cara cuyo diagnóstico se efectuó tras el estudio histopatológico y que permitió la observación de un granuloma por silicona líquida
In recent years, the demand for cosmetic interventions to augment soft tissue by injecting different substances has increased, due to their apparent innocuity. However, these procedures are not free from adverse reactions, such as the formation of foreign body granulomas, a phenomenon described in literature with most of the materials used. We report the case of a female patient with inflammatory lesions of the face, whose diagnosis was made after the histopathological study, which revealed a granuloma caused by liquid silicone
