K Onodera et al. Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol. 1993 Apr.

Abstract

A case of titanium pigmentation that involved a submandibular lymph node is reported. A 41-year old man had been treated for ameloblastoma by partial resection of the mandible followed by reconstruction with the use of a titanium plate to bridge the mandibular defect. Titanium pigmentation occurred in the surrounding soft tissue adjacent to the plate and within a submandibular lymph node 2 years after reconstruction.
