Breast implant surgery is a popular, globally performed, and frequently requested cosmetic and reconstructive surgical procedure. Breast implant surgery can cause implant-associated systemic symptoms and types of implant-associated cancers, so it is vital to monitor patient outcomes. Most patients who undergo breast implant surgery do not experience health problems.

Objective: Peri-implant enhancement can be seen on contrast-enhanced breast MRI, but its association with malignancy has not been described, leading to considerable variability in assessment and recommendations by radiologists. This study evaluated imaging features, management, and outcomes of implant-related enhancement.
Methods: This multisite IRB-approved retrospective review queried all breast MRI reports for keywords describing peri-implant enhancement, fluid, and/or masses (plus synonymous descriptions) and implant-associated malignancies, with subsequent imaging and chart review.

Unlabelled: This case is a rare presentation of breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL), where malignant pericardial effusion (MPE) served as the primary manifestation. A 58-year-old woman, post-breast implant removal, presented with pleuritic chest pain, fever, and chills. Clinical evaluation revealed jugular venous distention, muffled heart sounds, and hemodynamic instability.

Medical devices used for functional or esthetic purposes improve health and quality of life; however, they are not risk-free. Anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL), associated with breast implants, is a well-known and recognized distinct lymphoma entity. More recently, additional lymphomas have been reported in relation to prosthesis other than breast implants, as these allow the pericyte to develop into a clone that undergoes a maturation process, progressing toward full malignancy.

Background: Over the 27 years following the first report of Breast Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (BIA-ALCL), significant changes have been made in breast implant surgery trends. This study aimed to determine breast implant selection changes among European plastic surgeons.
Methods: The European Association of Plastic Surgeons (EURAPS) promoted a digital survey to 31 national plastic surgery societies across Europe, which spread it to their members.
