“…BIA-ALCL has been widely discussed since the reports of the first cases related to textured silicone implants. However, the trigger point of this pathology is still unknown [1] . Since we started a research protocol in our institution to search for breast implant complications, we observed an increasing number of SIGBIC cases.…”

“…Catalysts, vulcanizing agents, and non-siloxane fillers may also be present in varying proportions [55,57]. The texture of implants has also attracted some debate, although again focus may be better made towards the chemistry of these foreign bodies [97,98]. With such potential variety for chemical concoction, is it appropriate that all silicones should be treated equally or clustered as an entity when discussing ASIA or immune reactivity otherwise?…”

“…There are 35 million patients with implants in the world, and at the present moment, 573 cases of BIA-ALCL have been reported. 14 17 Systematic review of the literature via PubMed covering cases series, modes of presentation, cytological, histological and immunohistochemical features, and disease outcome, since 1997, shows that 518 cases throughout 25 countries have been registered on the American Society of Plastic Surgeons PROFILE registry, with an estimated risk for women with an implant of 1–3 per million per year. The neoplastic cells are highly atypical, consistently strongly positive for CD30, with 43%–90% also positive for EMA, and all are ALK-negative.…”
