  ABSTRACT: Background: Foreign body granuloma is a rare late complication of fascia lata graft donor site with few reported cases in the literature. It can mimic soft tissue sarcoma. Clinical and radiological findings may not be enough to solve the puzzle and histology remains the mainstay of diagnosis. Aim: Our aim is to highlight the unusual long interval between initial surgery and presentation of foreign body granuloma. Case Presentation: A 65-year-old man who presented 48 years after initial surgery with progressive painless fascia lata donor site soft tissue swelling. The management and histology findings were highlighted. Conclusion: The occurrence of foreign body granuloma remains an important differential following a history of past surgical procedure regardless of the time interval between the surgical procedure and the clinical presentation.
