Secondary intact capsulectomy with seroma without implant: revision of an incomplete treatment of BIA-ALCL – a case report
Residual disease in BIA-ALCL may be caused not only by tumor characteristics or extent, but also by misdiagnosis or late diagnosis. This case highlights the critical importance of thorough surgical excision in BIA-ALCL. The existence of guidelines and clinical practice recommendations direct surgeons on how to appropriately recognize and manage symptomatic patients in order to treat suspicious cases in a timely manner.
