Abstract
Injection of liquid silicone into the breast was performed illicitly in the 1950s to 1960s and was subsequently prohibited. Many complications arise from silicone injection, and liquid silicone migration is a complication that has not been widely reported. The authors present magnetic resonance images of a patient with liquid silicone migration from the breast to the upper chest and lower neck. Breast ultrasonographic and mammographic findings are also presented for correlation.
