Silicone-Induced Granuloma of Breast Implant Capsule (SIGBIC): Histopathology and Radiological Correlation

Figure 8

Mixed SIGBIC with seroma: imaging findings. (a) BMRI. Sagittal T2-weighted sequence presenting a large seroma with thick seroma content (yellow arrow). There are also enhanced masses on the anterior surface (green arrow). (b) Dynamic postcontrast sequence. Extracapsular mass (white arrow) that presents the type I kinetic curve pattern (persistent—green curve), inferring vascularized lesion. (c) Ultrasonography with elastography. Orange arrow points to the seroma component and the green arrow to the solid component. The seroma component is soft by elastography while the solid is hard. The radiological differential diagnosis are infectious disease and BIA-ALCL.
