Abstract:
This paper details the first breast implant-associated anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) case detected in Japan. The patient, a 67-year-old Japanese woman, was diagnosed with left unilateral breast cancer 17 years ago. Induration and redness presented in the left breast, which had undergone immediate breast reconstructive surgery using a tissue expander, later replaced by a silicone breast implant (SBI). Breast ultrasound showed fluid collection around the SBI. Surgery was performed to remove the left breast implant and the fragmented capsule surrounding the implant. Postoperative pathological findings did not indicate malignancy. Nine months later, a contralateral axillary lymphadenopathy was observed, and an excisional biopsy of the axillary lymph node was performed. The patient was diagnosed with BIA-ALCL and successfully underwent adjuvant CHOP (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisolone) chemotherapy.
