- Abstract
Three years ago, cytological examination of periprosthetic effusion, revealing sheets of CD30+ and CD4+ large-sized atypical cells with multiple mitosis, was consistent with the diagnosis of breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BI-ALCL). Patient underwent bilateral capsulectomy and prosthetic excision; positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography examination excluded the presence of systemic disease dissemination. GLO:HWR/01dec19:ans14839-fig-0001.jpg PHOTO (COLOR): (a) Computed tomography-positron emission tomography examination showing left axillary lymph node with remarkable increase of the "standardized uptake value" confirming the high metabolic activity of the lesion.
