Conjunctival Silicone Granuloma From Breast Implants
This case report contributes to our current understanding of the possibility of silicone migration from a distant implant site to the ocular adnexa, specifically the conjunctiva. It is important for corneal specialists and general ophthalmologists to gather a history of exogenous silicone use that could trigger systemic inflammatory responses and granuloma formation distant from the original site of silicone injection or implantation.
