%X Breast implant rupture is a common complication in plastic surgery, with various clinical presentations, due to silicone migration. In this article, we present the case of a patient with ruptured silicone implants, who developed siliconosis with rheumatoid polyarthritis, and evolved favourably after explantation surgery. The physiopathology of this disease, and the implication of silicone migration are still controversial, and yet to be confirmed.
