Breast augmentation is the most common surgical procedure for women globally, with 1,795,551 cases performed in 2019. Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) is highly uncommon, with 733 reported cases as of January 2020. In South Africa, there are less than 4000 breast augmentation surgeries annually. This case presents the first case report documentation of a South African woman diagnosed with BIA-ALCL. The patient was a 61-year-old woman who consulted the Breast Care Centre of Excellence in Johannesburg in 2015. She had a prior history of bilateral augmentation mammoplasty with subsequent implant exchange. The patient presented with periprosthetic fluid with a mass-like enhancement on the left breast. Aspiration of the mass-like fluid was positive for CD45, CD30, and CD68 and negative for CD20 and ALK-1, indicative of BIA-ALCL. Surgical treatment included bilateral explantation, complete capsulectomies, and bilateral mastopexy. Macroscopic examination of the left breast capsulectomy demonstrated fibrous connective tissue. The histological examination of the tumor showed extensive areas of broad coagulative necrosis with foamy histiocytes. Immunohistochemistry examination of this tumor showed CD3-, CD20-, and ALK-1-negative and CD30- and CD68-positive stains. PCR analysis for T-cell clonality showed monoclonal T-cell expansion. These findings confirm the presence of BIA-ALCL. The patient recovered well after surgery and did not require adjuvant therapy. A patient with a confirmed diagnosis of BIA-ALCL was successfully treated with explantation and complete capsulectomy. She was followed up regularly for six years, and the patient remains well and in remission.
隆胸是全球女性最常见的外科手术,2019年共进行了1,795,551例。乳房植入物相关间变性大细胞淋巴瘤(BIA-ALCL)极为罕见,截至2020年1月报告病例为733例。在南非,每年进行的隆胸手术不到4000例。本病例是南非一名被诊断为BIA-ALCL的女性的首例病例报告记录。患者为一名61岁女性,2015年咨询了约翰内斯堡的卓越乳房护理中心。她曾有双侧隆胸手术史,随后进行了植入物置换。患者左乳房出现假体周围积液并伴有肿块样强化。对肿块样液体进行抽吸,结果显示CD45、CD30和CD68呈阳性,CD20和ALK-1呈阴性,提示为BIA-ALCL。手术治疗包括双侧取出植入物、完整切除包膜和双侧乳房上提术。对左乳房包膜切除术标本进行宏观检查显示为纤维结缔组织。肿瘤组织学检查显示广泛的大片凝固性坏死区域伴有泡沫状组织细胞。对该肿瘤进行免疫组织化学检查显示CD3、CD20和ALK-1染色阴性,CD30和CD68染色阳性。T细胞克隆性的PCR分析显示单克隆T细胞扩增。这些发现证实了BIA-ALCL的存在。患者术后恢复良好,无需辅助治疗。一名确诊为BIA-ALCL的患者通过取出植入物和完整切除包膜成功治愈。对她进行了为期六年的定期随访,患者情况良好,处于缓解状态。
