Implant-Associated Lymphoma
Main Article Content
Abstract
Although cases have been reported in women with smooth surface implants as well, textured surface implants have seen the majority of breast implant-associated lymphoma cases. The most typical signs and symptoms are breast lumps, discomfort, and swelling. Clinical, radiographic, and pathological findings are used to make a diagnosis. The basic course of treatment is still removal of the implant and capsule, however in some circumstances stem cell transplantation, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy may be required. Patients with breast implants who exhibit symptoms should be evaluated by doctors for lymphoma. Long-term monitoring is necessary to identify illness recurrence early and guarantee effective therapy. In conclusion, lymphomas connected to breast implants provide a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge that has to be handled collaboratively and with a full understanding of the patient.
