Abstract
A 66-year-old female patient, who had undergone breast augmentation 10 years ago, presented with unilateral neck pain, dysphagia, and hoarseness. Subsequent imaging revealed right-sided supraclavicular and axillary lymphadenopathy and a breast implant rupture on the same side. A lymph node core biopsy under sonographic guidance revealed silicone lymphadenopathy. Implant extirpation was offered to the patient. Cervical lymphadenopathy warrants an initial workup to exclude sinister chronic inflammatory or malignant conditions. Nonetheless, in cases of diagnostic uncertainty and a history of breast augmentation, the otolaryngologist should be cognizant of distal silicone lymphadenopathy. This condition is associated with silicone leakage and lymphatic dissemination of silicone particles. Even though silicone-related granuloma formation is a rare entity, its incidence is slowly rising as the population that has undergone breast augmentation grows older.
