Abstract
|
|
|
A 57-year-old woman developed an inflammatory carcinoma in her left breast next to the spot of a silicone injection that had been used for augmentation some 20 years previously. She underwent a modified radical mastectomy with an axillary lymph
node
dissection. There have been relatively few cases reported in the literature that have noted breast cancer associated with silicone injections. During physical examinations, such breasts are frequently firm, tender, painful, and inflamed. Far more
important, in silicone-injected breasts, carcinomas become more difficult to detect by physical examination, mammography, and other known methods. Although no causal relationship between silicone and breast carcinomas is implied, a heightened
awareness
of the possible coexistence of silicone mastopathy and a breast carcinoma is necessary.
