60 year old female status post left breast modified radical mastectomy and left axillary lymph node dissection followed by left breast reconstruction with a standard dual-lumen breast implant, with biopsy-proven silicone lymphadenitis of contralateral (right) axillary and intramammary lymph nodes. Haematoxilin and eosin stained microphotograph of sample from a core needle biopsy of the right breast intramammary lymph node at ×10 power (a), at ×20 power (b) and at ×40 power (c) demonstrates diffuse follicular hyperplasia with interspersed histiocytes with clear, vacuolated cytoplasm, foreign-body type giant cells and fine vacuolated deposits.
