Abstract:
The article present a case report of orbital granulomatous inflammation after a retrobulbar injection of allogenous stem cells. Experimental treatment resulted in an orbital tumor that required surgical excision. Lymphogranulomatous inflammation with a secondary abscess was verified by morphological and immunohistochemical analyses. This case demonstrates the possible dangerous complications of the "off-label" therapy amid the rising popularity of stem cells treatment.
