Abstract
Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) is a synthetic polymer with multiple uses in industry and medicine. In dermatology, it is primarily used as an injectable implant for the correction of rhytides. We report the first case of an adverse event caused by the recreational use of PMMA in the form of an invisible tattoo granuloma.
