Abstract:
Silicone lymphadenopathy and granuloma formation can result from breast implants. A 71-year-old presented with implant rupture 30 years after a breast augmentation, causing left-sided silicone lymphadenopathy and extensive migration to the breast parenchyma and skin. Management included a mastectomy, lymph node resection, implant removal with complete intact capsulectomy, and latissimus-dorsi-based reconstruction.
