A Case of Silicone Granuloma After Liquid Silicone Injection
Abstract
- We report a case of silicone granuloma of the breast in a 38-year-old female patient who had been injected with liquid silicone by an unauthorized practitioner for augmentation of her breast. On histopathological examination, we could observe numerous variable sized ovoid or round cavities that gave the section a ""Swiss cheese"" appearance in the dermis and subcutaneous fat. She was treated initially with oral antibiotics and corticosteroids with no significant improvement, and she was referred to the Plastic Surgery Department for surgical removal of the silicone granuloma.
