The imaging findings are noted. No definite foreign material is seen at microscopy; however, the tissue is disrupted, as may result when a hard material is embedded in the tissue. | |||
The tissue block was examined and a fragment that had chunked-out at the time of cutting was noted. The chunked-out fragment and tissue block were x-rayed. The chunked-out fragment was highly radiodense (in keeping with a metallic fragment) and approximately 2 mm in maximal dimension. | |||
