In Asia, mammography following the injection of foreign materials into the
breasts for cosmetic augmentation is frequently seen and diagnosis based on
the typical radiologic findings is straightforward.
We report the unusual radiologic findings in two patients with foreign body
granulomas caused by injected foreign materials and discovered incidentall
y during screening work up. The mammographic findings were bilateral, hyper
dense, spiculated masses, with occasional microcalcification, and at sonogr
aphy, markedly hypoechoic, spiculated solid masses, located near the pector
alis muscle and partly extending into it, were observed. These radiologic f
indings mimicked malignancy.
