“…All cases of implant-associated ALCL in which surface type is known have reported textured implants as the type of implant (28,32). It is well known that textured implants have been associated with late-onset seromas but their association with ALCL is less clear (12,33). Because ALCL is a result of T cell activation and expansion, some have argued that ALCL may be a result of an immunogenic response (27).…”

“…This has made it difficult to analyze the cases in the literature. Initial management of a late-onset seroma or peri-implant mass associated with a breast implant has evolved into a more standardized approach (11)(12)(13). In an attempt to gather consistent data from case to case for analysis, the FDA and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons recommend collecting and reporting specific data to their registry (Table 2) (5).…”

“…Benign late seromas most commonly follow blunt external trauma (i.e., Motor vehicle accident, closed capsulectomy) or low grade infection, however they can also occur in the absence of any discernible precipitating event (68-70) (Figure 8). Spear and colleagues reported a 5-year experience of 28 late seromas encountered in 25 patients (71). The authors found that 96 percent had a Biocell (Allergan) textured device in place at the time of seroma development.…”

“…In the FDA study, 10 of the 34 patients presented with a seroma that was positive for ALCL cells. Seromas have been shown to be associated with Biocell (Allergan, USA) textured implants (9,10). In the five cases reported from Australia, all implants were textured (6).…”
