  • Title: Axillary lymphadenopathy 17 years after digital silicone implants: study with x-ray microanalysis.
    Author: Paplanus SH, Payne CM.
    Journal: J Hand Surg Am; 1988 May; 13(3):399-400. PubMed ID: 3288691.
    Abstract:
    Axillary lymphadenopathy developed in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis 17 years after the placing of Swanson implants in the hand. Foreign material in the lymph nodes was identified as silicone by energy-dispersive x-ray microanalysis. This emphasizes the long latent period that may be associated with this clinical phenomenon which may mimic other, more serious, diseases.
