Silicon granuloma is one of the benign complications of breast implant failure but this is rarely reported. We report a 66-year-old lady presented to respiratory department with history of weight loss and a chest x-ray was highly suggestive of a lung malignancy. Further investigation including CT thorax and breast ultrasound suggested siliconoma that was later on confirmed on tissue biopsy.
硅肉芽肿是乳房植入物失败的良性并发症之一,但这种情况很少被报道。我们报告了一位66岁的女性,她因体重减轻病史就诊于呼吸科,胸部X光片高度提示肺部恶性肿瘤。进一步的检查,包括胸部CT和乳房超声,提示为硅瘤,后来经组织活检得以确诊。
