We describe a case of unilateral axillary lymphadenopathy in an elderly woman with a long history of rheumatoid arthritis, 7 years status post placement of Swanson silastic elastomer implants in her right hand with good surgical outcome and with no outward reason for adenopathy. Though there was concern for malignancy, pathologic evaluation of the lymph node revealed foreign body giant cells reacting to silastic from her hand implants and no evidence of malignancy. This is only the 10th such case reported, despite the number of implants placed.
我们描述了一例老年女性单侧腋窝淋巴结病的病例，该患者有类风湿关节炎病史，右手植入Swanson硅橡胶弹性体植入物7年后手术效果良好，且无淋巴结病的外在原因。尽管担心为恶性肿瘤，但淋巴结的病理评估显示有异物巨细胞对其手部植入物中的硅橡胶起反应，且无恶性肿瘤证据。尽管植入物数量众多，但这仅是第10例此类病例报道。
