Silicone syndrome results from migration of free liquid silicone into the pulmonary capillaries following subcutaneous injection. Such injections are often performed illegally by nonmedical personnel for cosmetic reasons, such as breast and gluteal augmentation. Once the free silicone reaches the pulmonary circulation, it induces interstitial inflammation, increased capillary permeability, alveolar edema, and alveolar hemorrhage, and produces a syndrome that clinically resembles fat embolization syndrome. Patients with silicone syndrome usually present with cough, fever, dyspnea, and chest pain, although a minority of patients primarily present with severe neurologic symptoms; mortality is usually high for this latter subset of patients. Thoracic imaging studies in patients with silicone syndrome usually show bilateral patchy areas of consolidation and ground-glass opacity, which is characteristically and often strikingly subpleural. These radiographic findings are suggestive of silicone syndrome in the proper clinical context.(C) 2006 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Inc.
January 2008 - Jussta Health Update - A Catscan revealed a 1/2" nodule (tumor) "surrounded by calcification" according to the pathologist. My intuition told me it was silicone that had migrated to my lungs after major exposure to airborne mold toxins for months in my rental. Silicone macrophages are attracted to any injury or trauma site in the bodies of implanted or injected silicone survivors thinking everything is silicone and trying to entrap and destroy it. Thus, the constant irritation and inhalation of mold spores caused the silicone to travel to my lower left lung.
April 2008 - I am moving from this mold-infested residence and trashing old files when I came across a print out of this page yesterday. It was jussta in time for an examination and breathing tests by my physician. I brought him a print out. I am going to ask the Catscan testing facility to have the pathologist reread the findings to discern if it is a silicone nodule.
