| Abstrakt: | Silicone granuloma formation is a potential complication of silicone implant rupture. Breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a useful diagnostic tool to assess implant integrity and complications; however, there can be overlap in the enhancement pattern of silicone granuloma and malignancy. We present the case of an 85 year old with suspicious axillary masses on clinical exam for which MRI was recommended. MRI demonstrated enhancing masses in the right axilla that were suspicious for malignancy and biopsy was ultimately performed. This case discusses the use of inversion recovery sequences on MRI, as well as ultrasound, to differentiate malignancy from silicone granuloma formation to prevent unnecessary biopsies.
