The foreign body granuloma is a response of biological tissue to any foreign material in the tissue. Tissue-encapsulation of an implant is part of this. An infection around a splinter is part of this too.The presence of the implant changes the healing response and this is called the foreign-body reaction (FBR). FBR consists of: protein adsorption macrophages multinucleated foreign body giant cells (macrophage fusion) fibroblasts and angiogenesis.It can be caused by beryllium.
