Treatment of siliconomas is difficult and granulomas involving the face are a therapeutic challenge. We present a 43-year-old woman with a severely disfiguring facial silicone granuloma who was successfully treated with minocycline.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The refractory silicone granuloma responded dramatically to treatment with etanercept.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Although she became aware of a tumor in her right breast, she waited 8 years before seeking treatment. She felt the tumor growing and experienced swelling and pain, but she ended up declining therapy at that time.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
