Abstract

Siliconomas are rarely found in internal mammary lymph nodes in the context of ruptured, ipsilateral, silicone breast implants. However, they can sometimes cause a diagnostic dilemma, as in the presented case. We discuss the diagnostic pitfalls that can arise from misinterpreting a siliconoma for a metastatic lymph node, review the literature, and suggest appropriate diagnostic approaches.
