Abstract

This case presentation describes a 48-year-old man who experienced subcutaneous nodules 9 months after self-injection of sesame seed oil into the pectoral area for muscle augmentation. This procedure was reported by our patient to be frequently performed in the bodybuilding and fitness scene. Ultrasound imaging showed multiple, low reflecting round nodular areas of up to 1 cm diameter in both breasts. Excision of a representative nodule revealed a cyst filled with oily material, surrounded by granulomatous tissue. This case report demonstrates an unusual side effect of augmentation measures in bodybuilders.
