Core Tip

Core Tip: This editorial outlines the case study described by Kelmer et al, whereby a 28-year-old female presented with a secondary, recurrent fibroreactive nodule 7 months following the resection of a primary cyclops lesion. Here, we describe the pathology and history of the cyclops lesion and expound on the case study findings by the original manuscript authors. We further provide potential explanations for the observations.
