RESUMEN
ABSTRACT: In the presence of an unhealed granulation tissue-like wound, a possibility of abuse and neglect along with a foreign body should come to mind. However, it may be difficult to recognize a foreign body in patients with atypical clinical presentations. We demonstrated delayed diagnosis of a rubber band embedded into subcutaneous tissue in a 2½-year-old girl who presented with a circumferential scar with 2 granulation tissue-like wounds on her neck due to a foreign body reaction developed over years. With this rare case presentation, we remind the possibility of abuse/neglect along with foreign bodies in neck lesions of children.
