Abstract:
We report a patient who, 2 years after mastectomy and breast reconstruction using a permanent expander, developed metastatic carcinoma around the filling port of the prosthesis. We believe this is the first description of such a condition, the differential diagnosis of which includes a silicone granuloma.
