The unusual mammographic appearance of breasts augmented by autologous fat injection

Abstract

We report the case of a woman presenting to our centre with two breast lumps, 12 months after undergoing breast augmentation with autologous fat injection. Mammography showed a very unusual appearance, with most of the breast parenchyma displaced anteriorly by a large amount of fatty tissue. This was associated with extensive bizarre microcalcification, highlighting the difficulty in mammographic evaluation of this rare type of breast augmentation.
