Abstract

Silicone breast implant ruptures have been widely reported in the literature. Granuloma formation is a known complication of such ruptures with reported sites including the axillae, limbs, chest wall muscles, and internal organs, such as the lungs and the liver. To the best of our knowledge, there are no reported cases of a silicone granuloma causing osteomyelitis of the sternum and multiple ribs in the absence of infection. We therefore report on the case of an 81-year-old patient who presented with an anterior chest wall discharging sinus tract on the background of a ruptured silicone breast implant. We raise awareness about the potentially devastating complications resulting from a ruptured silicone implant with relevance to cardiothoracic practice.

硅胶乳房植入物破裂后的胸壁硅胶肉芽肿导致巨大的胸壁脓肿和骨髓炎:第一份报告。
硅胶乳房植入物破裂已在文献中广泛报道。肉芽肿形成是已知的此类破裂的并发症,报道的部位包括腋窝、四肢、胸壁肌肉和内脏器官,如肺和肝脏。据我们所知,在没有感染的情况下,没有硅胶肉芽肿引起胸骨和多根肋骨骨髓炎的报道。因此,我们报告一例81岁的患者,在硅胶乳房植入物破裂的背景下,出现前胸壁排出窦道。我们提高人们对与心胸外科实践相关的硅胶植入物破裂可能导致的破坏性并发症的认识。
