Case Report
Down pillows, fitted with soft feathers, are commonly used among parents for their children due to their comfort, breathability, and warmth. In this case report, we present a 17-month-old boy who presented with a chief complaint of fever and progressive left neck swelling warranting a surgical excision after a failed course of antibiotic therapy. Histopathologic examination of the lesion demonstrated down feathers with associated granuloma with foreign-body type giant cell reaction, attributed to the use of the down pillow.
