“…NMR spectroscopy is a promising technique able to produce a specific spectral pattern for each breast augmentation material, enabling the identification of its constituents 1. To the best of our knowledge, however, it has only been used on explanted materials.…”

Breast augmentation with an unknown substance

Before the widespread use of silicone implants various foreign substances were injected directly into the breasts. The nature of these materials sometimes remains unknown and can cause various complications requiring surgical intervention. Preoperative diagnostic imaging can help characterise the type and distribution of the injected material, thereby assisting in making decisions regarding treatment. We report a case of breast augmentation with an unknown substance, aiming to highlight some imaging characteristics of different breast augmentation substances.

“…Prior to the widespread use of breast implants, various synthetic materials consisting of petroleum jelly, paraffin, or injectable silicone gel(Figures 4a, 4dto 4f) were commonly used, particularly in Asian countries in the 1950s. Since the 1990s, injectable hydrogel such as polyacrylamide has also been used 8. These injected foreign materials can also result in complications such as migration, infection (Figure 5), inflammation, discolouration, and the formation of granulomas,…”

With an increasing number of women undergoing breast augmentation and later presenting with breast symptoms, radiologists need to be familiar with the different imaging appearances. Mammography and ultrasonography is one of the first steps in the diagnostic workup of a woman who presents with breast symptoms. In the absence of typical features of implant rupture, however, further evaluation with magnetic resonance imaging is often necessary to determine implant integrity and complications or to detect a possibly malignant lesion.
