UNLABELLED: Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) of the breast is a very rare nonepithelial neoplasm. In the literature, this tumor has sometimes been described in proximity of breast implants (60 implant-related ALCL reported). In 2010, a patient who had undergone a right mastectomy and tissue expander/implant reconstruction for a "ductal" carcinoma 10 years before was referred to our unit for evaluation. On examination, an enlarged reconstructed right breast was found. The reconstructed breast did not show tenderness or signs of infection, ulceration, or breakdown. Mammograms and ultrasound scan did not suggest the presence of recurrent cancer, infection, deflation of the implant, or severe capsule contracture. The patient underwent mammary implant replacement. About 3 weeks after surgery, the patient came back to our unit for a new mild enlargement of the operated breast and the implant was removed. Three months later, the patient returned with a skin lesion in the right parasternal region. A radical excisional biopsy was performed under local anesthesia and the diagnosis of ALK-1-negative ALCL was finally made. The clinical and histological diagnosis of this disease is difficult as it can often be mistaken for a simple seroma (breast enlargement), an infection, or an unspecific reaction to silicone (redness and/or tension of the skin, itching, and fever). We strongly suggest considering ALCL in any patient with a spontaneous breast seroma lasting more than 6 months after mammary prosthesis implantation. The suspicion of ALCL must be suggested to the pathologist immediately. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE V: This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.

未标注:乳腺间变性大细胞淋巴瘤(ALCL)是一种非常罕见的非上皮性肿瘤。在文献中,这种肿瘤有时与乳房植入物相邻(报告了 60 例与植入物相关的 ALCL)。2010 年,一位患者因 10 年前患有“导管”癌而行右乳房切除术和组织扩张器/植入物重建术,因评估来我院就诊。检查发现右侧重建乳房增大。重建乳房无触痛或感染、溃疡或破裂迹象。乳房 X 线照相术和超声扫描均未提示存在复发性癌症、感染、植入物瘪陷或严重包膜挛缩。患者接受了乳腺植入物置换术。术后约 3 周,患者因手术乳房再次轻度增大返回我院,取出了植入物。3 个月后,患者右胸骨旁区出现皮肤病变。在局部麻醉下进行了根治性切除活检,最终诊断为 ALK-1 阴性 ALCL。由于这种疾病常被误诊为单纯血清肿(乳房增大)、感染或对硅酮的非特异性反应(皮肤发红和/或紧张、瘙痒和发热),因此其临床和组织学诊断较为困难。我们强烈建议在任何患者在乳房假体植入后 6 个月以上出现自发性乳房血清肿时考虑 ALCL。应立即向病理学家提示 ALCL 的怀疑。
