ABSTRACT

Adjuvant disease is a pathology caused by the insertion of foreign substances for cosmetic purposes and represents a serious health problem. There is no reproducible and reliable method to determine the type of substance infiltrated. We studied the clinical and histopathological characteristics, as well as the determination of the substance filtered through nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry. Eighteen Patients were studied (17 women, average age 39.3 years and 1 man). The anatomical areas that were infiltrated were the gluteal region 5 cases, mammary region 4 cases, in mammary and gluteal region 7 cases and in the face one. All the samples were analyzed by spectrometry of nuclear magnetic resonance and a histopathological study. In 18 cases the histopathological study reported chronic granulomatous inflammation by foreign matter. In the analysis by nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry we found 35% edible oil (triglycerides of fatty acids), 40% oil (petrolates or aliphatic hydrocarbons), 15% silicone ( polidimetilsiloxanes) and a 15% combination of substances, which corresponds to edible oils and silicone. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy is an accurate method in the determination of the substance used in infiltration.
