  • Title: [Mammary silicone granuloma. Apropos of 3 cases].
    Author: Laxenaire A, Raulo Y, Baruch J.
    Journal: Ann Chir Plast Esthet; 1994 Dec; 39(6):725-32. PubMed ID: 7661554.
    Abstract:
    Since the beginning of the sixties, plastic surgeons now use silicone gel prostheses, in aesthetic or reconstruction surgery, for augmentation mammaplasty. Organic complications occurring after the insertion of these implants are reported in the literature, due to the large number of women now treated. Out of the purely local complications, and the general complications related to silicone biocompatibility, some regional complications are described, such as silicone granuloma. Authors describe three cases of sicilone granuloma they have observed and cured. After a short review of the literature, they underline problems raised by silicone granuloma, such as those related to diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
