Abstract
We report on a case of axillary lymphadenopathy in a 40-year-old woman secondary to a bilateral silicone augmentation mammoplasty which ocur red 10 years after surgery. Microscopic silicone leakage (''bleeding'' ) from an intact prothesis lead to sizeable lymph node enlargement. Th e suspected malignant tumour (metastasis/malignant lymphoma) could be ruled out by histological examination of the lymph node.
