Fibrohistiocytic tumor of the hand after high-pressure paintgun injury: 2 case reports.
Injections from high-pressure, airless paintguns are uncommon industrial accidents that may result in acute injuries, usually to the nondominant hand. These injuries commonly require emergent management including immediate surgical debridement to avoid tissue necrosis and loss of hand function. Rarely oleogranulomas and squamous cell carcinoma have been described as late complications. Herein we describe 2 patients who developed fibrohistiocytic tumors several months after a high-pressure paintgun injury.
