Abstract
|
|
|
|
Foreign material injection for breast augmentation has been performed for decades, primarily in Asia. Various materials have been used clinically for injection; their typical imaging findings are well-known and have been reported in many cases. However, these cases usually involve an injection of a foreign material for female breast augmentation. We report here the unusual imaging findings in a 64-year-old male with lipogranulomatous inflammatory changes in his breast, caused by an interstitial injection of paraffin. Mammograms show the enlargement of both breasts as well as an increased density with combined skin and trabecular thickening. Ultrasonography revealed bilateral, severely thickened skin and diffuse edematous change along the subcutaneous fat layer. Further, a few oil cysts and ill-defined hypoechoic lesions with posterior acoustic shadowing were noted in both breasts.
