A recent wave of adverse publicity regarding silicone breast implants has led increasing numbers of women to undergo removal of their implants. In this pictorial essay, we present the spectrum of mammographic findings after implant removal. These range from a nearly normal appearance to architectural distortion and even residual spiculated silicone granulomas that may simulate malignant tumors. Our examples emphasize that comparison with previous mammograms and a detailed surgical history are essential if unnecessary investigations of postsurgical and residual benign abnormalities are to be avoided.
最近一波关于硅胶乳房植入物的负面宣传，导致越来越多的女性接受植入物取出手术。在这篇图文并茂的文章中，我们展示了植入物取出后的乳房X线检查结果范围。这些结果从几乎正常的外观到结构扭曲，甚至是可能模拟恶性肿瘤的残留有毛刺的硅胶肉芽肿。我们的示例强调，如果要避免对术后和残留良性异常进行不必要的检查，与之前的乳房X线照片进行对比以及详细的手术史至关重要。
