Cureus. 2022 Jun 13;14(6):e25890. doi: 10.7759/cureus.25890. eCollection 2022 Jun.

Abstract

Silicone implant-induced hypercalcemia is a rather rare pathological entity. There are only a few published reports on the topic. Here, we have reported a case of acute kidney injury in the background of hypercalcemia and elevated vitamin D level in a transgender patient with a history of silicone injections in the breast and buttocks for cosmetic purposes.

Keywords: granulomatous inflammation; hypercalcemia; renal failure; silicone; vitamin d.
