Palm oil thorn induced tumour-like lesion: a review of 4 cases

It is not widely recognized that palm oil thorn injuries can produce progressive and persistent reaction in the bone joint and surrounding tissue. The natural history is unique and most of the investigations are inconclusive. We reviewed four cases of tumor like lesion: two cases were around the elb...

We reviewed four cases of tumor like lesion: two cases were around the elbows and two cases at the foot, which developed following injuries caused by palm oil thorns.
