ABSTRACT

Ha habido muchos casos de aparición de autoanticuerpos y síntomas de enfermedad después de la exposición a adyuvantes, no solo después del aumento de senos con implantes de silicona, sino también como un efecto secundario muy raro de la vacunación, como el síndrome de la guerra del Golfo o el síndrome de miofascitis macrofágica. Las enfermedades cuyos síntomas se desarrollaron después de dicha exposición adyuvante se denominan síndrome autoinmune/inflamatorio inducido por adyuvantes (ASIA). El grupo de adyuvantes incluye no solo implantes de silicona, sílice, escualeno y aluminio, sino también componentes de tinta utilizados para hacer tatuajes. Analizando los informes disponibles sobre la influencia de los adyuvantes en el desarrollo de enfermedades autoinmunes, se concluye que, además de la exposición prolongada a la silicona, también es necesaria la coexistencia de otros factores, como genéticos o ambientales. Los análisis claramente no confirman un mayor riesgo de desarrollar una enfermedad autoinmune después del aumento de senos con implantes de silicona o tatuajes, pero parece que entre estas pacientes hay un grupo que está más predestinado a desarrollar síntomas de la enfermedad. En la población general, los beneficios de la vacunación son obvios, y el riesgo de eventos adversos graves después de la inmunización es incomparablemente menor que el riesgo de desarrollar una enfermedad específica y sus complicaciones, también para pacientes con enfermedades autoinmunes diagnosticadas. Debido a la heterogeneidad de los datos en estudios previos y las dificultades para diagnosticar ASIA, parece necesario realizar más análisis de la influencia de los adyuvantes en el desarrollo de enfermedades autoinmunes y refinar los criterios de diagnóstico de ASIA, que ahora permiten un diagnóstico demasiado fácil de esta enfermedad.

There have been many cases of occurrence of autoantibodies and disease symptoms after adjuvant exposure, not only after breast augmentation with silicone implants, but also as a very rare side effect of vaccination, such as Gulf War syndrome or macrophagic myofasciitis syndrome. Diseases whose symptoms developed after such adjuvant exposure are called adjuvant-induced autoimmune/inflammatory syndrome (ASIA). The adjuvant group includes not only silicone, silica, squalene and aluminum implants, but also ink components used to make tattoos. Analyzing the available reports on the influence of adjuvants on the development of autoimmune diseases, it is concluded that, in addition to prolonged exposure to silicone, the coexistence of other factors, such as genetic or environmental, is also necessary. The analyses clearly do not confirm an increased risk of developing an autoimmune disease after breast augmentation with silicone implants or tattoos, but it seems that among these patients there is a group that is more predestined to develop symptoms of the disease. In the general population, the benefits of vaccination are obvious, and the risk of serious adverse events after immunization is incomparably lower than the risk of developing a specific disease and its complications, also for patients with diagnosed autoimmune diseases. Due to the heterogeneity of data in previous studies and the difficulties in diagnosing ASIA, further analysis of the influence of adjuvants on the development of autoimmune diseases and refinement of the diagnostic criteria for ASIA, which now allow too easy diagnosis of this disease, seems necessary.

ABSTRACT

La neumonía organizada es una entidad poco frecuente, caracterizada por la formación de conglomerados fibroblásticos intraalveolares conocidos como cuerpos de Masson, que puede ser criptogénica o secundaria a una respuesta inmunitaria a diversos estímulos, tales como enfermedades hematológicas, autoinmunitarias, exposición a sustancias químicas, fármacos, tóxicos, etc. Detectada y tratada de forma precoz, suele tener una buena respuesta a la corticoterapia, aunque si se diagnostica de forma tardía, la afectación pulmonar puede ser extensa, y, además, si el estímulo antigénico persiste, la respuesta al tratamiento será incompleta. Presentamos el caso clínico de una paciente de 65 años de edad quien hace 18 meses aproximadamente presentó la rotura intracapsular de sus implantes mamarios, 27 años después de su colocación. Con el mismo tiempo de evolución ha desarrollado progresivamente disnea, tos seca y dolor inframamario, habiendo llegado al diagnóstico de neumonía organizada bilateral difusa, asociada a dicha rotura de implantes.


Organizing pneumonia is a rare entity, characterized by the formation of intraalveolar fibroblastic conglomerates known as Masson bodies, which may be cryptogenic or secondary to an immune response to various stimuli, such as hematological, autoimmune diseases, exposure to chemical substances, drugs, toxics, etc. If it is detected and treated early, it usually has a good response to corticosteroid therapy, although if it is diagnosed late, the lung involvement can be extensive, and furthermore, if the antigenic stimulus persists, the response to treatment will be incomplete. We present the clinical case of a 65-year-old patient who had intracapsular rupture of her breast implants approximately 18 months ago, 27 years after their placement. With the same evolution time, she progressively developed dyspnea, dry cough and under mammary pain, having reached the diagnosis of diffuse bilateral organizing pneumonia, associated with implant rupture.

ABSTRACT

Resumen La mamoplastia de aumento consiste en insertar una prótesis dentro del tejido mamario con el fin de alterar su tamaño y forma. Actualmente, se utilizan varios tipos de implantes según su forma, tamaño y material, así como diferentes variaciones en la técnica quirúrgica. Se han descrito complicaciones asociadas por ser considerados cuerpos extraños y la más común es la contractura capsular. Se presenta el caso de una paciente de 41 años a quien se le realizó mamoplastia de aumento con implantes de silicona y de forma atípica presentó un episodio de doble contractura capsular que requirió dos intervenciones adicionales por asimetría y dolor cambiando el implante y nuevamente presentando el mismo fenómeno de manera unilateral en la mama izquierda.


Abstract Augmentation mammoplasty consists of inserting a prosthesis into the breast tissue in order to alter its size and shape. Currently, several types of implants are used according to their shape, size and material, as well as different variations in the surgical technique. Associated complications have been described because they are considered foreign bodies and the most common is capsular contracture. We present the case of a 41 year old patient who underwent augmentation mammoplasty with silicone implants and atypically presented an episode of double capsular contracture that required two additional interventions due to asymmetry and pain by changing the implant and again presenting the same phenomenon unilaterally in the left breast.

ABSTRACT

Las fístulas o dehiscencia de heridas asociadas a implantes mamarios representan una complicación relativamente poco frecuente en la práctica diaria. Se asocia a factores locales y representa un riesgo en cuanto a la posibilidad de extrusión y remoción del implante. El tratamiento de esta complicación se realiza esterilizando y provocando una capsulitis química con TCA 90% en la zona del lecho del implante y la confección del Colgajo en Doble Banderín para el cierre cutáneo. De esta forma, ha permitido resolver dicha complicación, al mismo tiempo que refuerza la herida ofreciendo sostén al área de decúbito generada. Desde el punto de vista anatómico se muestran disecciones cadavéricas para evidenciar detalles de la técnica de cierre.


Fistula or dehiscence of wounds associated with breast implants represent a relatively rare complication in daily practice. It is associated with local factors and represents a risk in terms of the possibility of extrusion and removal of the implant. The treatment of this complication is carried out by sterilizing and causing a chemical capsulitis with TCA 90% in the area of the implant and making a Double Flag Flap for cutaneous closure. In this way, it has made to resolve this complication, at the same time that it reinforces the wound by offering support to the decubitus area generated. From the anatomical point of view, cadaveric dissections show details of the closure technique.

ABSTRACT

■ RESUMO Introdução: Como o câncer de mama é a doença maligna mais prevalente em todo o mundo, o tratamento conservador é de extrema importância. No entanto, em muitos casos, a mastectomia continua sendo o procedimento cirúrgico indicado e, como qualquer outra amputação, leva um fardo significativo para essas pacientes. No caso da mastectomia, a reconstrução imediata da mama é o tratamento padrão. A reconstrução aloplástica continua sendo o tipo mais amplamente realizado de reconstrução mamária imediata. Métodos: Neste artigo, os autores apresentam uma série de 105 casos de reconstrução aloplástica imediata em 5 anos de 2015 a 2019 no Centro Hospitalar e Universitário de Coimbra, Portugal. Inclui mastectomias curativas e redutoras de risco realizadas por ginecologistas oncológicos. As opções de reconstrução oferecidas pela equipe de reconstrução plástica incluíram tanto a reconstrução direta no implante quanto a reconstrução em dois estágios com o uso de expansores de tecido. Resultados: Dados sobre a doença oncológica, tipo de mastectomia, critérios de seleção das pacientes e resultados pós-operatórios imediato e tardio com diferentes técnicas de reconstrução imediata foram coletados, analisados e comparados com a literatura. Em nosso estudo, o índice de massa corporal foi o único preditor mais significativo de complicações e seu impacto foi estatisticamente significativo. Conclusão: Os resultados obtidos representam uma etapa essencial para a melhoria da qualidade da assistência à mulher em reconstrução mamária.


■ ABSTRACT Introduction: With breast cancer being the most prevalent malignancy worldwide, conservative treatment is of tremendous importance. Nevertheless, in many cases, mastectomy remains the indicated surgical procedure, and like any other amputation, it carries a significant burden on those patients. In the case of mastectomy, immediate breast reconstruction is the standard of care. Alloplastic reconstruction remains the most widely performed type of immediate breast reconstruction. Methods: In this article, the authors present a series of 105 cases of immediate alloplastic reconstruction in 5 years from 2015 to 2019 in Centro Hospitalar e Universitário de Coimbra, Portugal. It includes curative and risk-reducing mastectomies performed by oncologic gynecologists. The reconstruction options offered by the plastic reconstructive team included both direct-to-implant reconstruction and two-stage reconstruction with the use of tissue expanders. Results: Data regarding the oncologic disease, type of mastectomy, patient selection criteria and immediate and late postoperative outcomes with different techniques of immediate reconstruction were collected, analyzed, and compared to literature. In our study, body mass index was the single most significant predictor of complications and, its impact was statistically significant. Conclusion: The results obtained represent an essential step to improving care quality for women undergoing breast reconstruction.

ABSTRACT

El linfoma anaplásico de células grandes asociado a implantes mamarios LACG-AI o BIA-ALCL, abreviatura en inglés de "Breast Implant Associated-Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma", es una nueva entidad reconocida por la OMS desde el 2016, de rara incidencia y que aún plantea muchos interrogantes. Desde su primera mención en 1997 (J. Keech - B. Creech) su incidencia ha ido en aumento. En julio de 2020, 953 casos en el mundo según el Registro de la Sociedad Americana de Cirujanos Plásticos (PROFILE), y las publicaciones se multiplican exponensialmente año a año demostrando el interés que suscita. Se ha descripto una fuerte asociación con las superficies texturizadas de los implantes mamarios y con el tipo de material (mayor textura "grado 4" y cubierta de poliuretano mayor riesgo) llegando a describirse tasas tan altas omo 1/2830 en Australia/Nueva Zelanda. Su presentación clínica en casi el 75% es bajo la forma de un seroma tardío y el tiempo de exposición promedio ronda entre los 7 a 11 años. El diagnóstico histo-patológico integra el examen morfológico con la caracterización molecular, visualizándose grandes célular anaplásicas CD30 (+), ALK (-). El tratamiento quirúrgico, capsulectomía bilateral en estadios tempranos es el gold standard. Su pronóstico es excelente con exérsis completas. Objetivo: actualizar la información sobre esta novel enfermedad y comentar un caso propio que presenta todas las características descriptas en la literatura, siendo el 14° registrado en Argentina


The anaplastic large cell lymphoma associated with breast implants, LACCG-AI o BIA-ALCL abbreviation in English, is an entity recognized by the WHO since 2016 of rare incidence and that still raises many questions. Since its firts mention in 1997 (J. Keech - B. Creech) its incidence has been increasing, In july 2020, 953 cases in the world according to the Registry of the America Society of Plastic Surgeons (PROFILE), and the publications multiply exponentially year after year, demonstrating the interest it arouses, A strong association has been described with the textured surfaces of breast implants and with the type of material (greater texture "grade 4" and higher risk polyurethane cover), reaching rates as high as 1/2830 in Australia / New Zealand. Its clinical presentation in almost 75% is in the form of a late seroma and the average exposure time is between 7 to 11 years. The pathological anatomical diagnosis integrates the morphological examination with the molecular characterization, visualizing large anaplastic CD30 (+), ALK (-) cells. Surgical treatment, bilateral capsulectomy in early stages, is the gold standard. Her prognosis is excellent with complete exeresis. Objetive: to update the information on this novel disease and comment on an own case that presents all the characteristics described in the literature, the 14th being registered in Argentina

ABSTRACT

A mastite é uma patologia relativamente frequente na mulher que amamenta. Surge maioritariamente nas primeiras seis semanas após o parto (prevalência entre 75-95% antes do bebé completar os três meses de vida), podendo, contudo, ocorrer ao longo de todo o período da amamentação. Apresenta-se clinicamente com mastalgia, eritema e edema mamário, linfonodomegalia axilar, febre, calafrios, mal-estar e prostração. Entretanto, o quadro clínico completo pode não estar presente em todos os casos. A técnica incorreta de amamentação provoca as microlesões mamáriasque são fatores associados à mastite, inicialmente, e esta quando não recebe tratamento adequado pode evoluirpara os abscessos mamários, que são caracterizados clinicamente por nodulação palpável ou não, flutuante, parcialmente circunscrita, geralmente no quadrante superior lateral da mama afetada. O microrganismo mais envolvido é o Staphylococcus aureus. O diagnóstico diferencial envolve principalmente outras causas não infecciosas de mastite, por exemplo a granulomatosa com reação a corpo estranho (piercing, implantes de silicone) e também malignidade. A ultrassonografia é um método bastante útil na investigação inicial daqueles quadros com suspeita de desenvolvimento de tal complicação e possibilita de maneira segura o tratamento minimamente invasivo e a obtenção de amostra para analise laboratorial. Isto permite a escolha de antibioticoterapia direcionada para os microorganismos causadores.


Mastitis is a relatively common condition in breastfeeding women. It appears mostly in the first six weeks after delivery (prevalence between 75-95% before the baby is three months old), however, it can occur throughout the entire period of breastfeeding. It may present clinically with mastalgia, erythema and breast edema, axillary lymph node enlargement, fever, chills, malaise and prostration. However, the complete clinical picture may not be present in all cases. The incorrect breastfeeding technique causes breast microlesions which are factors associated with mastitis, initially, and when it does not receive adequate treatment it can evolve for breast abscesses, which are characterized clinically by palpable or not, floating, partially circumscribed nodulation, usually in the upper lateral quadrant of the affected breast. The most involved microorganism is Staphylococcus aureus. The differential diagnosis mainly involves other non-infectious causes of mastitis, for example granulomatous with a foreign body reaction (piercing, silicone implants) and also malignancy. Ultrasonography is a very useful method in the initial investigation of those conditions suspected of developing such a complication, and it safely allows minimally invasive treatment and obtaining a sample for laboratory analysis. This allows the choice of antibiotic therapy directed at the causative microorganisms.

ABSTRACT

La lactancia materna para la mujer es un periodo vital, el que es influido por diferentes factores, entre estos, está el antecedente de cirugía mamaria. El propósito de esta revisión es explorar, en la evidencia disponible, el impacto que tienen los implantes mamarios y la reducción mamaria en el amamantamiento. Esto, con el fin de apoyar el trabajo con las mujeres en el proceso de lactancia materna e informar previamente a las usuarias cómo estas cirugías podrían afectar su proceso. Con respecto a las características de la cirugía, hay diferencias en los efectos que puede tener en la producción de leche, según: el tipo de cirugía, tipo de abordaje y el sitio de incisión, que puede afectar a corto y largo plazo. Debido a que existe evidencia heterogénea con respecto al impacto de la cirugía mamaria en la lactancia materna, toma un rol importante considerar en la evaluación este antecedente en la mujer, para realizar un buen diagnóstico. Ante todo, es importante el apoyo y guía educativa, tanto prenatal como en el puerperio, para empoderar a las mujeres en la toma de decisiones y el manejo de su lactancia materna, previo a la cirugía y durante el proceso de lactancia materna. Para lograr esto se necesita personal de salud capacitado, que pueda intervenir en esta realidad, informado, con la mejor evidencia disponible.


Breastfeeding is a vital period for women and it's influenced by different factors such as breast surgery. The purpose of this review is to explore available evidence on the impact that some breast surgeries (breast implants or breast reduction) have on breastfeeding. This is to support the breastfeeding process in this women, and also to inform them how these surgeries could affect on their breastfeeding process. There are several factors related to surgery that can influence on the breastfeeding process, such as the type of approach, the incision siteand, in the case of the implant, where it is located, which may affect short or long term. Because there are not enough studies, and there is also heterogeneous evidence regarding the impact of breast surgery on breastfeeding, it is important the educational support be given both prior to surgery and during the pre and postnatal phases. To achieve this the trained health professionals need to be informed and with the best evidence available related to the breastfeeding process.

ABSTRACT

Se presenta un trabajo de investigación clínica aplicada y de experimentación acerca de los seromas de aparición tardía posimplantes mamarios. Se investigaron los factores etiológicos probables, realizando una revisión bibliográfi ca, anatómica y clínica sobre pacientes que presentaron la patología. Se realizó una encuesta complementaria a profesionales cirujanos que realizan mastoplastias aumentativas con implantes. Se infi ere que las causas de los seromas de aparición tardía están relacionadas con aspectos de índole anatómica y fi siopatológica de los propios pacientes, en particular del sistema de drenaje linfático del exudado de la unidad pectoro-axilo-mamaria, que no tienen correlato directo con las técnicas quirúrgicas utilizadas y que no deberían originar implicancias médico-legales en lo referente a demandas judiciales

ABSTRACT

Las enfermedades del tejido conectivo vinculadas a implantes mamarios de siliconas han sido tema de discusión. En la última década, la siliconosis ha sido incluida dentro del síndrome autoinmune/inflamatorio inducido por adyuvante (ASIA) junto al síndrome de la guerra del Golfo, síndrome de miofascitis macrofágica y fenómenos post vacunales. El ASIA puede manifestarse como lupus, artritis reumatoidea, o más raramente como enfermedad de Still del adulto. Presentamos el caso de una paciente con fiebre prolongada y criterios clínicos compatibles con ASIA y enfermedad de Still. Se resecaron las prótesis y la anatomía patológica descartó linfoma anaplásico ALK (-) vinculado a prótesis. Los médicos debemos estar alertas ante la aparición de estas nuevas entidades asociadas a los implantes mamarios de siliconas.


Connective tissue diseases associated with silicone breast implants have been widely discussed. In the last decade, siliconosis has been included in the autoimmune/inflammatory syndrome induced by adjuvants (ASIA) next to Gulf War syndrome, macrophage myofascitis and postvaccination phenomena. The ASIA syndrome may appear as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or more rarely, as adult Still's disease. We discuss the case of a patient with prolonged fever and clinical criteria for ASIA and Still's disease. The prostheses were resected and pathology showed absence of breast implant associated anaplastic lymphoma ALK (-). Physicians should be alert to these new entities linked to silicone breast implants.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: A evolução das técnicas de mamoplastia redutora contribuiu para tornar a cirurgia mais segura e, portanto, mais aceita pela comunidade médica. Contudo, em algumas pacientes, a estética final permanecia insatisfatória, principalmente, por resultar em mamas flácidas e sem projeção. Para alcançar melhores resultados, iniciou-se o uso do implante de mama em conjunto com a mamoplastia redutora. Ao agregar o melhor das duas técnicas, é possível obter bons resultados e a satisfação do paciente. O objetivo deste estudo é avaliar o resultado das cirurgias de mamoplastia redutora com a inclusão de implantes de silicone. Métodos: Para o desenvolvimento deste trabalho, foram selecionadas 15 pacientes, do sexo feminino, com idade entre 26 a 62 anos. Todas foram submetidas à mamoplastia redutora com inclusão imediata de implante mamário. Parâmetros, como assimetria da base mamária e volume da ressecção, foram avaliados. Após o sexto mês de pós-operatório, as pacientes responderam um questionário sobre o grau de satisfação do resultado final da cirurgia, que variou de insatisfeita, satisfeita e muito satisfeita. Resultados: Apesar de apresentar um paradoxo - retirar tecido mamário para colocar um implante de silicone -, a cirurgia para redução mamária com utilização implante consegue alcançar, com êxito, o objetivo de posicionar, adequadamente, as estruturas mamárias e de proporcionar maior durabilidade do resultado tanto na consistência quanto na projeção do cone mamário. Conclusão: Pode-se concluir que a técnica apresenta bons resultados na medida em que aumenta a durabilidade do resultado cirúrgico e a satisfação das pacientes.


Introduction: Advances in reduction mammoplasty techniques have contributed to make surgery safer and more acceptable to the medical community. However, in some patients, the aesthetic outcome remains unsatisfactory, mainly because of flaccid breasts and lack of projection. To achieve optimal results, the use of breast implants in conjunction with reduction mammoplasty was initiated. By combining the best of both techniques, it is possible to obtain good results and patient satisfaction. The objective of this study is to evaluate the results of reduction mammoplasty with insertion of silicone implants. Methods: For this study, 15 female patients aged 26 to 62 years were selected. All underwent reduction mammoplasty with immediate insertion of breast implants. Parameters such as asymmetry of the breast base and resection volume were evaluated. After the sixth postoperative month, patients reported their degree of satisfaction with the final surgery result, as dissatisfied, satisfied, or very satisfied. Results: Although presenting a paradox-removing breast tissue to place a silicone implant-breast reduction surgery with the use of implants can successfully achieve the aim of proper positioning of breast structures and providing higher durability of results, both in breast consistency and in the projection of the breast cone. Conclusions: The technique achieved good results by increasing the durability of the surgical result and patient satisfaction.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUÇÃO: Vários cirurgiões têm suas próprias fórmulas ou protocolos para selecionar os volumes e formato de implantes mamários. Para determinar a escolha do formato, medimos as distâncias entre a borda superior da mama e a papila (A) e entre a papila e sulco submamário (B). Baseados nestas medidas, propomos um algoritmo para selecionar próteses redondas ou anatômicas. MÉTODOS: As avaliações pré-operatórias foram realizadas com a paciente em posição ortostática considerando-se as medidas: 1) da fúrcula esternal à papila, para avaliar a necessidade de retirada de pele supra-areolar; 2) da base da mama, para avaliar o volume do implante; 3) das distâncias A e B, para avaliar a forma do implante. Este algoritmo foi aplicado a 59 pacientes submetidas à mamoplastia de aumento. RESULTADOS: Utilizamos implantes redondos em 27 pacientes; nove tinham distância a = b, e 18 B > A. Empregamos implantes anatômicos em 32 pacientes. Os volumes dos implantes redondos variaram entre 195 cc e 425 cc, enquanto os implantes anatômicos ficaram entre 185 cc e 315 cc. Com relação às medidas pós-operatórias das pacientes que utilizaram implantes redondos, 26 (96,3%) mantiveram a proporção desejada com B > A ou A = B. Entre as pacientes com implantes anatômicos, as medidas de 25 delas (78,1%) mostraram alteração das proporções, de A > B para A = B ou B > A. CONCLUSÕES: Quando a distância A é igual ou menor que a distância B, recomendamos implantes redondos. Quando B < A, recomendamos implantes anatômicos.


INTRODUCTION: Several surgeons have their own formulas or protocols to select the volume and shape of breast implants. To determine the shape, we measured the distances between the upper edge of the breast and the papilla (A), and between the papilla and the inframammary fold (B). Based on these measurements, we propose an algorithm to select round or anatomical implants. METHODS: Preoperative assessment was performed with the patients in the orthostatic position. The following distances were considered: 1) from the sternal notch to the papilla, to assess the need for supra-areolar skin excision; 2) breast base, to assess the volume of the implant; 3) distances A and B, to evaluate the shape of the implant. This algorithm was applied to 59 patients undergoing augmentation mammoplasty. RESULTS: We used round implants in 27 patients; nine had a distance A = B, and 18 had B > A. We utilized anatomical implants in 32 patients. The volume of round implants ranged from 195 to 425 cc, whereas that of anatomical implants ranged from 185 and 315 cc. Regarding postoperative measurements of the patients who used round implants, 26 (96.3%) maintained the desired ratio with B > A or A = B. Among the patients with anatomical implants, 25 (78.1 %) showed proportional changes from A > B to A = B or B > A. CONCLUSIONS: When the distance A is equal to or smaller than the distance B, we recommend round implants. When B < A, we recommend anatomical implants.

ABSTRACT

Mastoplastia de aumento é uma das cirurgias mais realizadas em todo o mundo. Variáveis como tamanho e localização do implante, bem como o tipo de incisão, influenciam o resultado final. A abordagem periareolar é bem conhecida e difundida, porém sua cicatriz pode, muitas vezes, ser motivo de insatisfação da paciente. Uma modificação da técnica periareolar é apresentada, com incisão em zigue-zague, para mamoplastias de aumento, permitindo a obtenção de cicatrizes imperceptíveis. A técnica descrita é uma excelente alternativa para mastoplastia de aumento, proporcionando resultado estético satisfatório, com cicatriz camuflada na transição da pele periareolar com o complexo areolopapilar, que é naturalmente irregular.


Augmentation mammaplasty is one of the most common surgeries worldwide. Variables such as implant size and location as well as incision type influence the final result. The periareolar approach is well known and disseminated; however, the resulting scar is a common reason for patient dissatisfaction. We present a modified periareolar technique using a zigzag incision that results in invisible scars after augmentation mammaplasty. The technique described here is an excellent alternative for augmentation mammaplasty and has an esthetic satisfactory result with imperceptible scars in the periareolar skin of the nipple-areola complex, which is naturally irregular.

ABSTRACT

La fibromatosis agresiva es una lesión benigna, que comprende el 0,3% de todos los tumores sólidos. A pesar que la pared torácica es un lugar común, este tipo de tumor raramente se ha asociado con los implantes o tejido mamarios. Pocos casos se han descrito en conjunción con un implante de seno. Se presenta el caso de una paciente femenina de 27 años, quien le aparece esta patología dos años después de la colocación de implante mamario


The aggressive fibromatoses is a benign lesion, is not frequent, represent the 0.3% of the all solid tumors. The chest wall was considered a common place for tumors, but this type is rarely associated with the mammary implants. There are few cases reported in conjunction with a mammary implant. We presented a rare clinical case of a feminine patient of 27 years old, to whom apparition of this pathology two years after the collocation of mammary implant

ABSTRACT

La asociación entre implantes mamarios y cáncer ha sido un tema controversial, dado la falta de evidencia suficiente sobre la seguridad de éstos a largo plazo. El aumento del número de pacientes que se han sometido a mamoplastía de aumento, así como la mayor incidencia del cáncer de mama a nivel mundial y la detección de elementos carcinogénicos derivados de los implantes mamarios encendieron el interés de la comunidad científica sobre su posible asociación con el cáncer. Consideramos por lo tanto, un tema de relevancia clínica la revisión sobre la literatura actual entre la asociación de implantes mamarios y cáncer. Algunos problemas que se han planteado sobre el uso de los implantes mamarios son las modificaciones que se establecen para la realización de un examen físico, además de la dificultad para analizar una mamografía, lo que hace suponer un retraso en la detección de patología maligna, así como un peor pronóstico y sobrevida. No obstante lo anterior, diversos estudios han demostrado que no existe asociación causal entre implantes mamarios y cáncer, a su vez la sospecha por examen físico se ha visto favorecida en la detección de masas sospechosas, la etapa y el tamaño tumoral no han presentado diferencias significativas, tendiendo en algunos casos a disminuir. La mamografía presenta disminución en su sensibilidad, pero es posible suplirla implementando proyecciones combinadas y otras técnicas de imagen ante la sospecha. La recurrencia y mortalidad se presentan sin modificaciones significativas respecto de la población general. Respecto a la relación entre implantes mamarios y cáncer extramamario, teniendo en consideración que el implante mamario es un cuerpo extraño susceptible de degenerar, capaz de producir una respuesta inmune y migración del contenido, se plantea un posible efecto carcinogénico en neoplasias a distancia. Se evidencian estudios disímiles describiendo relación con algunos tipos de cáncer...


The association between breast implants and cancer has been a controversial issue, due to the lack of evidence concerning the safety of these in the long term. The increase of the number of patients who have undergone augmentation mammoplasty and the detection of carcinogenic elements related to the mammary implants lit interest of the scientific community, on its possible association with the cancer. We consider to be very important, a review concerning the actual literature between breast implants and cancer. Some of the problems that have been raised about the use of breast implants are the modifications that are established for the execution of a physical exam, and also the difficulty to analyze a mammography, what makes us think of a delay in the detection of malignant pathology, and therefore a worse forecast and survival. Despite the stated above, several studies have demonstrated that there is no casual association between breast implants and cancer, and the suspicion by physical exam has been favored in the detection of suspicious masses; the stage and the size of the tumor have not presented major differences, in some cases tending to reduce its size. The mammography presents a reduction in its sensibility but it is possible to supplement by introducing combined projections and other image techniques in case of suspicion. The frequency and mortality do not face significant changes compared to the general population. Concerning the relationship between breast implants and extra mammary cancer, taking in consideration that the breast implant is a strange object susceptible to degeneration, capable of producing an immune response and migration of the content, a possible carcinogenic effect in neoplasms at distance is raised. Other studies can be witnessed describing a relation with some types of cancer, although by the existence of bias, these are not conclusive from a statistical point of view...

ABSTRACT

In recent decades there has been an increase in the number of breast implants for reconstruction and cosmetic purposes. Infection is a severe complication mostly caused by Staphylococcus aureus or coagulase-negative staphylococci. Mycobacteria are an infrequent cause of infection in this type of surgery. We describe a case of Mycobacterium fortuitum infection in a patient with lupus, subjected to a prosthetic replacement. These patients are more prone to unusual opportunistic infections. Treatment always requires both removal of prosthetic material and antibiotic therapy.


En las últimas décadas se ha producido un incremento en el número de colocaciones de implantes mamarios para reconstrucciones y fines estéticos. La infección es una complicación seria y en su mayoría es producida por Staphylococcus aureus o Staphylococcus coagulasa-negativa. Las micobacterias son una causa infrecuente de infección en este tipo de cirugías. Describimos el caso de una infección de un implante mamario por Mycobacterium fortuitum en una paciente lúpica sometida a un recambio protésico. Este tipo de pacientes es más propenso a padecer infecciones oportunistas. El tratamiento siempre requiere retiro del material asociado a antibioterapia.

ABSTRACT

Los implantes mamarios de silicona se han asociado con una variedad de condiciones médicas que aparecen en coincidencia con su implantación; ello constituye la emergencia de una nueva y poco conocida patología de la modernidad. Más del 87% de los enfermos sintomáticos, presentan neuropatía desmielinizante y axonal, comprobada en la biopsia de nervio y músculo, mientras que aproximadamente el 22%-25% tienen evidencia de enfermedad tiroidea autoinmune. Un pequeño porcentaje del 10%-12%, presentan enfermedad desmielinizante primaria del sistema nervioso: esclerosis múltiple diagnósticada mediante resonancia magnética y estudios de líquido cefalorraquideo. Otros presentan condiciones inmunológicas diversas como síndrome de fibromialgia, tiroiditis de Hashimoto, polimiositis, dermatomiositis, lupus eritematoso sistémico, artritis reumatoide, esclerodermia y presencia de autoanticuerpos. Para estos pacientes sintomáticos se propone como diagnóstico unitario un síndrome adyuvante por implante de prótesis mamarias de silicon. Se presentan los casos de dos pacientes ilustrativos.


Silicone breast prosthesis has been associated with a variety of medical conditions or autoimmune diseases, which has coincidental relation with the implants insertion; it's loomed as a new and unknown pathology of the modern times. More than 87% of symptomatic patients developed demyelination axonal neuropathy demonstrated by nerve and muscle biopsy; 22% to 25% have evidence of autoimmune thyroid disease. An a small group of patients (10%-12%) have primary central nervous system demyelination disease as. multiple selerosis. The diagnosis of multiple selerosis was corroborated by magnetic resonance imaging and cerebrospinal fluid analysis. Also, an other wide spectrum of immunological diseases have been observed, such as fibromyalgia. Hashimoto's, polymyositis, dermatomyositis, lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, and the presence of autoantibodies. Finally, for symptomatic patients, an adjuvant syndrome of silicone breast prosthesis or implant is proposed as a unitary diagnosis. The authors presented two patients whom illustrated this entity.

ABSTRACT

El aumento de mamas o mamoplastía de aumento es uno de los procedimientos de cirugía plástica más comunes que se realizan hoy en día tanto por indicación estética, como también para cirugía reparadora. Mediante este procedimiento, aquellas mujeres que no están satisfechas con el tamaño de sus mamas o que han experimentado cambios en su aspecto, pueden lograr que éstos se vean de mejor forma. El implante se coloca dentro de un bolsillo que se forma en el tejido mamario. Esto puede contribuir a aumentar o equilibrar el tamaño de la mama, recuperar su volumen o la forma que tenía este luego de una pérdida parcial o total. Los resultados dependerán de la habilidad del cirujano y de la toma de decisiones que se hacen en conjunto con la paciente para optimizar el resultado inicial y en el tiempo.


Mammoplasty in one ot the most frequent surgical procedures that has aesthetic and reconstructive indication. The aim, is to permit that women who are not satisfy with the there breast appearance, could make it look better. The implant is introduced into a breast tissue pocket. This help to the augmentation or equilibrium ot the breast size. It is not an easy procedure and the optimization of the final result will depend in the surgeons ability and the decisions made between the patient and his doctor.
