[Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma]

Breast implant-associated anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) is a serious complication in patients with breast implants. In this case report, a 38-year-old woman who was diagnosed with BIA-ALCL presented with seroma in her left breast eight years after her breast implantation surgery. The purpose of this case report is to draw attention to the fact that "late-onset" seroma in patients with breast implants can be a sign of malignancy. A multidisciplinary approach in the diagnosis and treatment of these patients is important. Manifestations, investigation and management of the disease are reviewed.
