Human Morbidity and Mortality

Richard Ellenbogen, MD; Rita Ellenbogen, MD; Leonard Rubin, MD

JAMA. 1975;234(3):308-309.

Abstract
Four patients who had received silicone injections had the following complications: migration, hepatic disease manifested as granulomatous hepatitis (previously undescribed, to our knowledge), hypopigmentation, and death. Silicone should now be considered as a possible cause of hepatic granulomas in an appropriate host.
