Description

The patient was a 57-year-old woman who had undergone breast augmentation with hyaluronic acid injections about 5 years earlier. No shrinkage was noted even after 5 years, and the patient had had no problems related to the breast augmentation procedure. She had been undergoing breast cancer screening by mammography and ultrasonography on a regular basis. She presented to our clinic with an abnormality detected during a check-up conducted using a countermeasure type breast cancer screening ultrasonography. At her first visit to our clinic, clinical examination by palpation revealed a large mass occupying the entire lower portion of both breasts. Ultrasonography of the breast confirmed the presence of a cystic mass in the lower portion of both breasts. We encountered a case in which the injectate, namely, hyaluronic acid, used for breast augmentation was not absorbed and resulted in the formation of a huge cystic mass in both breasts.
