OBJECTIVE: Our objective is to present the MR appearance of breast paraffinoma, a late complication of breast augmentation by liquid paraffin wax, and to correlate this appearance with the histopathologic findings that were available for three of the 11 breasts we studied. CONCLUSION: Breast paraffinomas have a characteristic MR appearance that correlates well with histopathologic findings. With MR imaging, we were able to visualize the location and extent of the paraffinoma, best seen on the fat-suppression sequence, and to evaluate the surrounding fibroglandular breast tissue.
