Abstract Background To assess the incidence of benign and malignant peri‐implant fluid collections and/or masses on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in women with silicone implants who are being screened for silent implant rupture. Methods The institutional review board approved this HIPAA‐compliant retrospective study and waived informed consent. Women who underwent silicone implant oncoplastic and/or cosmetic surgery and postoperative implant‐protocol MRI from 2000 to 2014 were included. Peri‐implant fluid collections and/or masses were measured volumetrically. A benign peri‐implant fluid collection and/or mass was pathologically proven or defined as showing 2 years of imaging and/or clinical stability. A malignant peri‐implant fluid collection was pathologically proven. Incidence of peri‐implant fluid collections and/or masses and positive predictive value (PPV) were calculated on a per‐patient level using proportions and exact 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Fisher's exact test was used in the analysis to test statistical significance pre‐defined as P‐value
