Combination gel-inflatable mammary prosthesis: appearance at CT

EM O'Mara, DR Pennes and LC Argenta
Department of Radiology, University of Michigan Medical Center, Ann Arbor 48109.

The combination gel-inflatable prosthesis is commonly used in breast reconstruction surgery following mastectomy for cancer. Since patients with this type of implant may be examined with computed tomography (CT) for possible pulmonary metastatic disease, recognition of the CT appearance is important in order to avoid the erroneous diagnosis of an infected prosthesis. A case is presented in which the CT appearance of a double-lumen prosthesis was misinterpreted as an infected prosthesis.
