Summary

This study explores Still's disease linked to silicone and collagen implants. While steroids helped, implants remained, suggesting a complex relationship and the need for better diagnostic tools like ferritin levels.

Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Immunology
  • Plastic Surgery

Background:

  • Silicone-induced connective tissue disease is controversial.
  • Still's disease is a rare systemic inflammatory disorder.

Observation:

  • A case of Still's disease associated with silicone and collagen implants is presented.
  • The patient showed steroid responsiveness but remained steroid-dependent even after silicone implant removal.

Findings:

  • The case suggests a complex association between implants and Still's disease pathogenesis.
  • Silicone-implant-associated syndrome may be misdiagnosed as Still's disease.
  • Ferritinemia and its glycosylated fraction are proposed as potential discriminators.

Implications:

  • Further research is needed to clarify the role of silicone and collagen implants in Still's disease.
  • Distinguishing between silicone-implant-associated syndrome and Still's disease is crucial for appropriate management.
