Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Pathology
  • Plastic Surgery

Background:

  • Liquid silicone injections are used for cosmetic augmentation.
  • Delayed complications can arise years after initial procedures.
  • Foreign body granulomas are inflammatory reactions to injected substances.

Observation:

  • A 73-year-old woman presented with a siliconoma on her forehead.
  • The siliconoma developed over 9 months.
  • The patient had a history of liquid silicone injections 12 years prior for cosmetic reasons.

Findings:

  • The forehead mass was diagnosed as a siliconoma, a type of foreign body granuloma.
  • Histopathological examination confirmed the presence of silicone material and granulomatous inflammation.
  • The case illustrates a rare, late-onset complication of cosmetic silicone injections.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of long-term patient follow-up after cosmetic silicone injections.
  • Understanding the clinical and histopathological features of siliconomas is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.
  • Awareness of potential delayed adverse effects is essential for both patients and practitioners considering or performing such procedures.
