Confounding diagnosis of metastatic disease on FDG PET/CT due to cosmetic liquid silicone administration in breasts and gluteal regions with silicone migration to labia majora.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Cosmetic liquid silicone injections can result in silicone-induced inflammation, chronic mastitis, migration to distant locations and lymphadenitis which can result in false positive nodal and distant metastases. This study demonstrates a patient with multifocal FDG-avid right breast malignancy with FDG-avid bilateral axillary, mediastinal and abdominopelvic lymph nodes. She also had extensive FDG-avid foci in the bilateral breasts and subcutaneous gluteal regions secondary to cosmetic silicone administration. There was migration of injected silicone via the inguinal ligaments into her bilateral labia majora. In patients with extensive silicone injections, contrast-enhanced MRI, FDG-PET/CT and FES-PET/CT may assist in follow up for malignancy recurrence as the standard mammogram, ultrasound and CT follow-up demonstrates limited detection of interval changes.
