A case report describing the diagnosis of anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) in a woman who underwent cosmetic placement of bilateral, textured silicone gluteal implants was published recently in Aesthetic Surgery Journal.
This case report described the clinical course of a 49-year-old woman presenting with recurrent pericardial effusion and abdominal pain. Biopsy of a lung mass revealed histologic findings consistent with ALK-negative ALCL.
Textured Implants at Sites Other Than the Breast May Increase Risk of Implant-Associated ALCL
