Cutaneous lymphoid hyperplasia and marginal zone B-cell lymphoma following vaccination.

Atypical lymphoid infiltrations arose within the influenza inoculation sites of two adult female patients. One patient developed a low-grade cutaneous marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (MZL) that was responsive to local excision and radiation therapy despite spread to a distant cutaneous site. The second patient's clinical course was characterized by a locally aggressive, histologically reactive inflammatory reaction responsive only to radiation therapy after multiple failed attempts at surgical resection.

Frequency and distribution of talc contamination in patients with silicone gel-filled breast implants.

Talc was found to contaminate peri-implant scars in patients with silicone gel-filled breast prostheses resulting from the physical interaction between implant and surgical glove. This study reports the frequency and distribution of the problem and its relationship to changes in glove manufacture. Peri-implant scar tissue, obtained from a population with breast implants, was evaluated for talc.
