[Oleoma: A case report with good response to tetracycline].
Oleoma or paraffinoma is defined as a foreign body granuloma that results from the injection of oily substances into the skin or subcutaneous tissue. We present a young patient with ulcerated lesions secondary to infiltration of oily material. He had undergone the injections with the aim of increasing muscle mass and definition. The treatment of these cases is quite complex, often with unsatisfactory results. The use of long-term oral tetracycline proved to be helpful.
