Description

An 84-year-old female was admitted to our hospital with cough and pigmentation of face and bilateral arms. She had received silicone augmentation mammoplasty about 20 years earlier. Chest CT revealed that the silicon had leaked out on the right side and that granulomas had formed around it. Anti-nuclear antibody and rheumatoid factor were positive on laboratory tests. Therefore, she was diagnosed as human adjuvant disease, and the silicon implants were removed under general anesthesia. However, the granulomas were hard and connected to the minor pectoralis muscle and chest wall, so the right silicone implant was not completely removed. After operation her symptoms slightly improved.
