Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

It is our great pleasure to present this Special Issue on managing complications of reconstructive and aesthetic breast surgery. This topic is significant in breast surgery as timely diagnosis and treatment of breast surgery complications can dramatically change the course of recovery from surgery and have an imperative effect on the operative outcome. As our technique in breast surgery evolves, with the emergence of new devices and technologies, we have the opportunity to reduce the rate of complications and improve the management and outcome. We welcome authors to submit papers on managing complications in breast surgery, both aesthetic and reconstructive.

Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) is an uncommon T-cell lymphoma detected in association with textured implants. It presents as a fluid accumulation around the implant, usually years after the implantation. We present our experience in diagnosing and treating four patients with BIA-ALCL, each widely differing from the other. Data on patients’ surgical history, relevant medical information, and findings on pathological slides were retrieved from their medical charts and retrospectively reviewed. Each of the four patients was diagnosed with BIA-ALCL, one after breast augmentation, one after breast reconstruction with an implant, one after breast reconstruction with a latissimus dorsi flap and implant, and the fourth after the removal of breast implants. The cases were presented to a multidisciplinary team and subsequently underwent surgery. All four are currently free of tumors, as established by a negative follow-up via positron emission tomography-computed tomography. Although the incidence of BIA-ALCL is rare, these cases emphasize the need to rule out the diagnosis of BIA-ALCL in patients with textured implants or a history of implanted textured devices who present with symptoms such as late seroma or peri-implant mass. This pathology is typically indolent and slow-growing and heightened awareness for an early diagnosis could lead to quicker intervention and enhanced patient management. Full article
