Greek radiologists present a 67-year-old woman who was submitted to chest and lumbar spine radiographs during diagnostic work-up for pancytopenia. Multiple fine linear metallic subcutaneous densities were noted along the anterior and posterior thoracic and abdominal walls, arranged medially along parallel lines. Their uniformity in size and shape, coupled with their pattern of arrangement, led to the suspicion that the patient had received acupuncture therapy previously. Careful interview of the patient revealed a history of acupuncture therapy 17 years previously in the course of low back pain treatment.
