Silicone from ruptured breast implants can cause lung symptoms mimicking cancer. The diagnosis may be established by transbronchial lung biopsy or surgery. We report a case of asymptomatic silicone induced granulomatous reaction in the lungs and mediastinal lymph nodes diagnosed with EBUS-TBNA. We conclude that this differential diagnosis should be kept in mind even in an asymptomatic patients and that EBUS-TBNA should be considered.
破裂的隆胸硅胶可能导致类似癌症的肺部症状。诊断可通过经支气管肺活检或手术来确定。我们报告一例通过超声支气管镜引导下经支气管针吸活检术(EBUS-TBNA)诊断出的肺部及纵隔淋巴结无症状性硅胶诱导的肉芽肿反应病例。我们得出结论,即使是无症状患者也应考虑这种鉴别诊断,并且应考虑使用EBUS-TBNA。
