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  , DOI: ( /j.amjmed ) Copyright © 2015 Elsevier Inc. Terms and Conditions
