Splenic marginal zone B-cell lymphoma associated with ruptured breast implants: case report and review of the literature

Abstract

We describe splenomegaly and bilateral grade 2 Baker breast capsular contracture in a woman who had undergone augmentation mammoplasty. This case represents the first documented instance of splenic marginal zone lymphoma, and is among the rare reports of B-cell lymphoma, arising in a patient with breast implants.
