Popis: B Van Brenk, JL Mahoney. Misdiagnosis of breast implant rupture with mammography. Can J Plast Surg 1998;6(1):17-18. Diagnosis of intracapsular ruptures of silicone breast implants with mammography can be difficult. A case is presented where mammography was used to diagnose an implant rupture with both a false positive and false negative result in the same patient. The mammographic features of breast implant ruptures are discussed.
