Abstract
The authors describe the radiologic appearance of fluid silicone in the soft tissues of the gluteal area in a transsexual man. Thickening and striation of the soft tissues was observed in the trochanteric area in plain films. Serpiginous hyper-attenuated bands infiltrating the subcutaneous fat were seen with computed tomography. The patient was asymptomatic in the gluteal area.
