In addition, imaging evaluation revealed intracapsular implant rupture, ipsilateral internal mammary enlarged lymph nodes and multiple mediastinal lymphadenopathies.

Surgical removal of the breast filler and immediate breast reconstruction was successfully performed, and histology confirmed a benign breast lesion.
