Post-reconstruction dermatitis of the breast
2017, Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic SurgeryCitation Excerpt :When skin rashes do occur in these patients, they are often attributed to radiation therapy, allergic contact dermatitis to bandages, tape, or topical medication, or dry skin.8 Previous studies had also hypothesized that leaking silicone implants were associated with a variety of autoimmune disorders as well as cutaneous manifestations; however, these reports have more recently been largely disproven.9–15 In our consult service at a tertiary care cancer center, we have observed 21 cases, over a 13-year period (1999–2012), of a rash overlying the affected breast or breasts weeks to years following breast reconstruction, unrelated to a contactant, radiation therapy, or the type of breast reconstruction.
Chronic fatigue syndrome with autoantibodies - The result of an augmented adjuvant effect of hepatitis-B vaccine and silicone implant
2008, Autoimmunity ReviewsCitation Excerpt :Several adjuvant, such as alum and silicone were found to be independently associated with aberrant immune responses and the emergence of CFS [11,12]. The role of silicone, used for cosmetic purposes, as the cause of “adjuvant disease” has been evaluated in recent years [12,13]. We present a case of a 56 years old woman, who developed CFS following Hepatitis-B (HBV) vaccination, and exposure to silicone from her breast implants.
