Silicone implants are widely used in aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgery. Rupture of a breast implants is a well-known complication. Silicone leakage from a rupture or silicone bleeding can accumulate in lymphnodes because the silicone migrates through the lymphatics, and it can reach local or distant nodes. The systemic effects of silicone are unknow and object of debate. We report three cases of silicone migration from breast implants rupture in oncological patients. We aim to describe the correct diagnosis and treatment according to the date of the literature

Abstract
Silicone implants are widely used in aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgery. Rupture of a breast implants is a well-known complication. Silicone leakage from a rupture or silicone bleeding can accumulate in lymphnodes because the silicone migrates through the lymphatics, and it can reach local or distant nodes. The systemic effects of silicone are unknow and object of debate. We report three cases of silicone migration from breast implants rupture in oncological patients. We aim to describe the correct diagnosis and treatment according to the date of the literature
