The presence of silicon-containing compounds in the capsules of women undergoing secondary surgical procedures has been identified by energy dispersion X-ray analysis. The birefringence and surface configuration qualities have been examined by polarized light-microscopic and electron-microscopic methods. The data indicate that silicone polymer (polydimethyl siloxane) is present both within cells and in the intercellular matrix of the capsule; the source of this material is the silicone gel-filled implant. A histiocytic and foreign-body giant-cell response was found to be associated with the silicon-containing compounds. It remains conjectural whether this chronic response is associated with the pain present in significant breast capsule formation.
通过能谱 X 射线分析鉴定出，在接受二次手术的女性的胶囊中存在含硅化合物。偏光显微镜和电子显微镜方法检查了双折射和表面结构特性。数据表明，硅酮聚合物（聚二甲基硅氧烷）既存在于细胞内，也存在于胶囊的细胞外基质中；这种材料的来源是填充有硅胶的植入物。发现含硅化合物与组织细胞和异物巨细胞反应有关。这种慢性反应是否与明显的乳房囊形成中的疼痛有关，这仍然是推测性的。
