Breast prostheses are relatively common pathology specimens.
Breast expander and breast capsule redirect here.
General
- Commonly used for cosmesis in the context of breast cancer.[1]
- Associated with a small risk increase of lymphoma[2] - specifically anaplastic large cell lymphoma.[3]
- May be excised due to excessive fibrosis (in response to a breast prosthesis) known as capsular contraction.[4][5]
Gross
Specimen received in formalin labelled "right breast prosthesis" consists of a breast prosthesis measuring 13.5 x 12.5 x 4.5 cm. Seen on one side the number 356 is seen. The prosthesis is intact. No tissue is identified. No sections are submitted.
