Polarizing microscopy (PM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), x‐ray dispersive analysis (EDAX), x‐ray diffraction (XRD), and infrared spectrometry (IR) were used to study the following pathological mineralizations: calcifications and silicon(Si)‐bearing mineralizations in cerebral tissue from an epileptic child; traces of Si‐bearing particles in periprosthesic mammarian tissue, and calcifications in capsular mammarian tissue from a patient with a silicone gel mammarian implant, and 2 calcium‐bearing compounds, a typical apatitic calcification, and a nonphosphorous‐bearing calcification in arterial tissues. In this tissue we also found Si‐bearing particles due to an artifact from glassware.
