Breast prostheses are relatively common pathology specimens.

Breast expander, breast capsule and capsular contraction redirect here.

General

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.

Radiology

  • Linguine sign - thin, wavy hypodense strands/septations within a rupture contained within the fibrous capsule.[6][7]
