MRI diagnosis of a ruptured breast implant presenting as an infraclavicular mass.
The authors report a case of a ruptured breast implant presenting as an infraclavicular mass lesion. The findings of film-screen mammography, plain radiography, computed tomography and initial biopsy were nondiagnostic. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated the extent of the abnormality and permitted the correct diagnosis.
