MBN 2016 Aesthetic Breast Meeting BIA-ALCL Consensus Conference Report
reast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) is an uncommon neoplasia occurring in women with either cosmetic or reconstructive breast implants. The actual knowledge about BIA-ALCL deriving from the literature presents several limits, and it remains difficult to make inferences about BIA-ALCL epidemiology, cause, and pathogenesis. This is the reason why the authors decided to organize an evidence-based consensus conference during the Maurizio Bruno Nava (MBN 2016) Aesthetic Breast Meeting held in Milan in December of 2016.

Late onset of fluid collection surrounding breast implants may represent a serious issue when considering the possibility of breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma, a newly recognized type of T-cell malignancy. However, many other factors, including trauma and infections, may be implicated in the formation of non-neoplastic periprosthetic delayed effusions.
