  • Title: Fibromatosis associated with silicone breast implant: ultrasonography and MR imaging findings.
    Author: Shim HS, Kim SJ, Kim OH, Jung HK, Kim SJ, Kim W, Kim WW.
    Journal: Breast J; 2014; 20(6):645-9. PubMed ID: 25251931.
    Abstract:
    Desmoid type fibromatosis is an uncommon benign disease entity of which its etiology is currently unknown. It constitutes 0.3% of all solid neoplasms, but it is rarely seen in the breast and even more scarcely reported to develop in association with breast implant. We present ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging findings of a 29-year-old female patient with fibromatosis after breast implant surgery. Knowledge of imaging findings of breast fibromatosis associated with implant will be helpful for accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.
