Ferrugination caused by Monsel's solution. Clinical observations and experimentations

K Amazon, M J Robinson, A M Rywlin

    The American Journal of Dermatopathology
    |January 1, 1980

    Summary

    Monsel's solution can cause iron deposits (ferrugination) in skin and muscle tissue after hemostasis. While it doesn't hinder skin healing, deep tissue damage may lead to prolonged inflammation.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Pathology
    • Wound Healing

    Background:

    • Monsel's solution (ferric subsulfate) is used for hemostasis in skin biopsies.
    • Potential side effects of Monsel's solution on tissue are not fully understood.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the histological effects of Monsel's solution on skin and deeper tissues.
    • To evaluate the impact of Monsel's solution on wound healing and inflammatory responses.

    Main Methods:

    • Application of Monsel's solution to experimental rabbit biopsy sites.
    • Histological examination of tissue samples for iron deposition (ferrugination) and inflammatory markers.
    • Comparison between treated and untreated biopsy sites.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Monsel's solution caused ferrugination of dermal collagen and skeletal muscle fibers.
    • Ferruginated collagen was eliminated during epidermal regeneration; some fibers calcified.
    • Skeletal muscle ferrugination induced a granulomatous reaction and persistent inflammation in deeper tissues.
    • Epidermal regeneration rate was not significantly affected by Monsel's solution.

    Conclusions:

    • Monsel's solution can lead to significant tissue ferrugination, particularly in deeper structures like skeletal muscle.
    • While epidermal regeneration is unaffected, deep tissue injury can cause prolonged inflammation.
    • Clinicians should be aware of potential ferrugination and inflammatory responses when using Monsel's solution.
