Radiological pitfall: Siliconoma in internal mammary lymph node mimics breast cancer recurrence

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...

description 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.
