Late Unilateral Breast Enlargement after Insertion of Silicone Gel Implants: A Histopathological Study
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
Late unilateral breast enlargement after the insertion of silicone gel breast implants is a very rare phenomenon. The present study reports five women who presented with this finding over the past 20 years. Three of these patients presented with late unilateral hematomas, which developed nine, 12 and 14 years, respectively, after initial breast augmentation, in the absence of any known trauma. These patients presented for treatment one, four and 12 months, respectively, after their breast enlargements initially appeared. Two of these patients had developed chronic expanding hematomas. Extensive histopathological analyses of the capsules of all three patients provided explanations for the etiologies and progressions of the findings in these patients. In each of the three patients, the etiology of the hematoma was consistent with erosion of a capsular artery. Numerous large vessels were seen within the wall of the capsules. In each case, there was a class IV capsular contracture, which could have increased the friction of the intact implant against the capsule, and there was both old (hemosiderin deposits) and new bleeding into the pocket from the capsules. This supports the concept that numerous episodes of bleeding had occurred in each case. Histopathology also demonstrated the progression of the hematomas. After four weeks, only liquefied hematoma was present, while after four months, there were both liquefied hematoma and blood clotting. The hematoma on the surface of the capsule was becoming organized peripherally, but not centrally. After 12 months, the hematoma was becoming very well organized compared with the hematoma at four months. In one of the two remaining cases, late infection was the cause of the breast enlargement. Histopathology of this capsule showed that the involved capsule was six times as thick as the other side. It also showed edema and infiltration by scattered mononuclear cells, polymorphonuclear cells, and irregular crenated and degenerating nuclei. In the final patient, chronic inflammation appeared to be the cause of the breast enlargement. The histopathology of this capsule was unique. Its inner surface showed re-epithelialization and metaplasia of the ductal epithelium to form stratified squamous epithelium with early surface keratinization. These findings are consistent with synovial metaplasia. Several areas of the fibrous portion of the capsule showed patchy loss of cellular staining with loss of nuclei, indicative of necrosis. This produced a 'washed out' staining appearance. This tissue was paucivascular and fibrotic, and showed areas of fibrinoid necrosis, suggestive of mechanical abrasion and increased pressure.

Prédiction machine sur la base complète
Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
