Osteogenesis With Hematopoiesis Simulating Infection in a Hydroxyapatite Orbital Implant
Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 03/18/09
Jordan DR et al. - Clinically, with the conjunctiva diffusely inflamed, the implant tender to touch, and the presence of a pyogenic granuloma, implant infection was suspected and the implant subsequently removed. Histopathologic assessment revealed widespread lamellar bone formation, including focal areas of marrow with active extramedullary hematopoiesis. There was no evidence of an inflammatory process or infection. Postoperatively the patient's symptoms and signs resolved. Extramedullary hematopoiesis within hydroxyapatite implants is rare.
