This case describes a healthy 37-year-old woman who presented with bilateral breast pain and nodules years after receiving free silicone injections to her breasts. Mammogram revealed extremely dense breasts with innumerable bilateral masses of various sizes. Ultrasound was non-diagnostic due to poor penetration and artifact from silicone. Histologic examination revealed vacuolated histiocytes and innumerable cystic spaces containing material consistent with silicone. Patient underwent bilateral nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate reconstruction using tissue expanders. This case highlights the potential for serious complications developing years after free silicone injections as well as our team's surgical management of these complications.
