Free silicone injections to the breast for augmentation purposes have been prohibited in many countries but late complications are still seen. These complications can range from swelling to pain and breast lumps. We report a case of delayed diagnosis of cancer due to the presence of silicone granulomata in a patient. She subsequently underwent nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate deep inferior epigastric perforator flap reconstruction with good oncological and cosmetic outcomes.

Cancer

Cancers arise due to mutations in genes involved in the regulation of cell division, which leads to unrestricted cell proliferation. Modern science and medicine have made great strides in the understanding and treatment of cancer, including eradicating cancer in some patients. However, there is still no cure for cancer. This is largely due to the fact that cancer is a large group of many diseases.
