Abstract
Abstract: Silicone granulomas, or "siliconomas," are the common foreign-body inflammatory responses to injected silicone material. In rare cases, siliconomas develop remotely from the original site of injection, secondary to silicone migration. If a history of silicone injection is not noted, such lesions risk misdiagnosis (possibly as infection or malignancy). Intraocular silicone oil is commonly used in retinal detachment surgery, with occasional reports of granulomatous responses after its application in this context. Here, we report a 66-year-old man who developed a periocular silicone granuloma years after scleral buckle surgery for a detached retina and summarize the literature of similar reports of migratory siliconoma.
