A hypothetical correlation between hyaluronic acid gel and development of cutaneous metaplastic synovial cyst.
Summary of "A hypothetical correlation between hyaluronic acid gel and development of cutaneous metaplastic synovial cyst."
ABSTRACT:
Thousands of patients receive hyaluronic acid filler injections, and the effects are generally considered acceptable. The acid rarely causes cutaneous reactions, which are only occasionally reported in the literature. The aim of the present work is to analyze a clinical case that has never been reported in the literature to our knowledge. This case is of a 26-year-old woman who presented with a cyst in the infrazygomatic region that was injected with non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid at another centre a few months ago. Consequently, we made an external incision to remove the neoplasm: histological examination of the capsule revealed it to be a cutaneous metaplastic synovial cyst.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Ferrocyanides
Inorganic salts of the hypothetical acid ferrocyanic acid (H4Fe(CN)6).
Carbonic Acid
Carbonic acid (H2C03). The hypothetical acid of carbon dioxide and water. It exists only in the form of its salts (carbonates), acid salts (hydrogen carbonates), amines (carbamic acid), and acid chlorides (carbonyl chloride). (From Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed)
Ferricyanides
Inorganic salts of the hypothetical acid, H3Fe(CN)6.
Hyalectins
A group of high molecular weight chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans that form aggregates with HYALURONIC ACID.
Leishmania Mexicana
A parasitic hemoflagellate of the subgenus Leishmania leishmania that infects man and animals including rodents. The Leishmania mexicana complex causes both cutaneous (LEISHMANIASIS, CUTANEOUS) and diffuse cutaneous leishmaniasis (LEISHMANIASIS, DIFFUSE CUTANEOUS) and includes the subspecies amazonensis, garnhami, mexicana, pifanoi, and venezuelensis. L. m. mexicana causes chiclero ulcer, a form of cutaneous leishmaniasis (LEISHMANIASIS, CUTANEOUS) in the New World. The sandfly, Lutzomyia, appears to be the vector.
