    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Plastic Surgery
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Silicone implants are widely used in cosmetic surgery.
    • Foreign-body granulomas can arise from various materials, including silicone.

    Observation:

    • A 38-year-old woman presented with a migratory silicone granuloma on her chest and arm.
    • The condition was initially misdiagnosed as factitial panniculitis.

    Findings:

    • The granuloma was confirmed to be secondary to a ruptured breast implant.
    • Histopathological examination revealed a silicone granuloma.

    Implications:

    • Physicians must inquire about a history of silicone injections or implants in patients with foreign-body granulomas.
    • This is crucial to prevent misdiagnosis and ensure appropriate patient management.
    • Considering silicone implants can lead to earlier and more accurate diagnoses.
