title: Ruptured breast implant: computed tomographic and mammographic findings.
abstract: We report the computed tomographic and mammographic findings in a patient with a ruptured breast implant. The diagnosis was made by recognition of alteration in prosthesis contour, collapse of the prosthesis envelope, and the presence of free silicone in the breast and axillary region.
