Pulmonary embolism due to liquid silicone: Case report
Currently, a rare, non-thrombotic cause of pulmonary embolism is being described, resulting from subcutaneous injection of industrial liquid silicone (Polydimethylsiloxane) carried out illicitly by untrained professionals. The most serious systemic complications are the result of pulmonary involvement, with an average mortality of 24%. We describe a fatal case of pulmonary embolism due to liquid silicone injection, in a transsexual male seen at our institution.
