Ross, MD  The American Journal of Medicine  Volume 128, Issue 9, Pages 956-958 (September 2015) DOI: 10.1016/j.amjmed.2015.05.006 Copyright © 2015 Elsevier Inc. Terms and Conditions

Figure 1 The patient had a hyperpigmented, indurated, warm, exquisitely tender plaque on the external right buttock and the posteriolateral thigh. The American Journal of Medicine 2015 128, 956-958DOI: (10.1016/j.amjmed.2015.05.006) Copyright © 2015 Elsevier Inc. Terms and Conditions

Figure 2 T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging of the pelvis with contrast enhancement and fat suppression demonstrated a heterogeneous appearance within the soft tissues surrounding the buttocks. This was representative of an intense inflammatory process. Numerous areas of signal void were consistent with silicone deposits.

Figure 3 A biopsy sample of the indurated plaque was stained with hematoxylin and eosin. A, A granulomatous inflammatory infiltrate was seen in the reticular dermis, bar = 200 μm. B, Clear, nonbirefringent vacuoles were visualized at the inferior portion of the specimen consistent with silicone, bar = 200 μm. C, Magnification highlighted vacuoles with a Swiss-cheese-like appearance, 50 μm. The American Journal of Medicine 2015 128, 956-958DOI: (10.1016/j.amjmed.2015.05.006) Copyright © 2015 Elsevier Inc.
