Fake Popeye Muscles. Soft Tissue Granulomas Secondary to Intramuscular Synthetic Oil Injections in Bodybuilding. Case Series and a Literature Review by Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Open Access Journal (OSMOAJ) in Lupine Publishers.
Abstract
The administration of Site Enhancing Oils (SEO) is a wellknown
illegal practice in sports that require significant muscle
bulk such as bodybuilding [1,2]. This practice has been associated
with significant health effects. The side effects from such practices
appear decades after the initial injections and the most destructive
form is chronic granulomas. This paper reports five cases of
pathological massive muscle granulomas that required extensive
surgical excision among amateur bodybuilders in the Sultanate
of Oman. The article reviews the history of SEO in bodybuilding,
pathophysiology, clinical and radiological assessment and finally
management. This case series exemplifies the significant health
consequences from recreational sport practices.
