Late infection of an alloplastic chin implant masquerading as squamous cell carcinoma.

We present a case of infection of an alloplastic chin implant occurring 45 years after placement. The patient was referred to the clinic with an ulcerated submental lesion, which was thought to be a squamoproliferative lesion until surgery. The authors discuss the management of the case with reference to the literature on genioplasty and late infection of alloplastic implants.
