ABSTRACT

Las prótesis de silicona han sido usadas durante muchotiempo como implantes para el aumento mamario o para lareconstrucción tras cirugía oncológica. La rotura de unaprótesis es una complicación reconocida de esta cirugía. Suincidencia se desconoce, aunque sabemos que se incrementaal aumentar la edad de la prótesis.Si la silicona alcanza un ganglio linfático axilar puede provocardolor local o aumento del mismo, si bien, el procesosuele ser asintomático y verse como hallazgo incidental al realizaruna mastectomía en pacientes con antecedentes de mamoplastia.Presentamos un caso de linfadenopatía axilar por siliconatras rotura de prótesis mamaria, y realizamos una revisión delas complicaciones más habituales del uso de este material, enfatizandoen la linfadenopatía a propósito del caso(AU)


Silicone breast prostheses have been widely used for a longtime for breast augmentation or for reconstruction after cancersurgery. Rupture of prostheses is a known complication of thistype of surgery. Its incidence is unknown, even though it is knownthat there is an increase of rupture as the prostheses ages.If the silicone reaches an axilary lymph node, it can causelocal pain or enlargement in size. Even though, the processnormally does not result in these issues. It is frequently detectedas an incidental finding after performing a mastectomy aftermammaplasty.We present a clinical case of axillary lymphadenopathy associatedwith the rupture of a mammary silicone prostheses,and we review the most common and usual complicationswhen using this material, especially when dealing with a caseof lymphadenopathy(AU)
