Oleomas mimicking cutaneous xanthomas following breast augmentation by injection of liquid silicone

[摘要] Oleoma is defined as a foreign body granuloma resulting from the injection of oily substances into the skin or subcutaneous tissue. Liquid injectable silicone has been used extensively over the last five decades for soft tissue augmentation. Although initially considered as a biologically inert material, it has been implicated in a variety of adverse reactions, sometimes with latent periods of decades.
