Is there anyone out there in Histoland that knows of a stain for silicone.
We have a patient with a ruptured silicone breast implant that is having
lots of health problems including ulcers in the oral cavity.  We believe that
the foreign body reaction that is observed in the tissue biopsy is due to
the presence of silicone that has migrated.  Any ideas for stains or
references would be appreciated.

Thanks,
