anomalies associated with breast implants

Anomalies

 silicon foreign body reaction
 capsular synovial-like hyperplasia around mammary implants similar to detritic synovitis (7694944)
 silicone lymphadenopathy ( 3377110)

 anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) of the breast (18594466)

• Primary lymphomas of the breast are rare and predominately of B-cell phenotype.
• Anaplastic large cell lymphoma is a T-cell lymphoma that accounts for only 3% of all non-Hodgkin lymphomas.
• Rare cases of primary anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) of the breast have been described in association with a silicone breast implant capsule.
