Abstract

Breast cancer occurring in patients with free silicone injections is infrequent. Although the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) banned all silicone injectable products in 1992, silicone injections for breast augmentation continue to be performed in many places. Breast cancer is easily missed in these patients because the lesion is often masked by prosthetic material in clinical examination as well as traditional imaging methods. Here we report a case of breast cancer in 51-year-old woman with injection of free silicone into breast tissue for 22 years.
