Abstract
Breast implant-associated anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) is a rare entity. Due to the lack of awareness of BIA-ALCL, patients with prior history of breast implants who present with non-specific implant-related complications might experience a delay in diagnosis and appropriate treatment of this distinct condition. There are still no evidence-based guidelines on how this condition should be diagnosed, treated or followed because of the rarity of available data. We review current literature in order to raise awareness and discuss management options of this unique clinical entity.
