Incidence of benign and malignant peri-implant fluid collections and masses on magnetic resonance imaging in women with silicone implants.
Cancer Medicine 2020 May
BACKGROUND: To assess the incidence of benign and malignant peri-implant fluid collections and/or masses on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in women with silicone implants who are being screened for silent implant rupture.
METHODS: The institutional review board approved this HIPAA-compliant retrospective study and waived informed consent. Women who underwent silicone implant oncoplastic and/or cosmetic surgery and postoperative implant-protocol MRI from 2000 to 2014 were included. Peri-implant fluid collections and/or masses were measured volumetrically. A benign peri-implant fluid collection and/or mass was pathologically proven or defined as showing 2 years of imaging and/or clinical stability. A malignant peri-implant fluid collection was pathologically proven. Incidence of peri-implant fluid collections and/or masses and positive predictive value (PPV) were calculated on a per-patient level using proportions and exact 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Fisher's exact test was used in the analysis to test statistical significance pre-defined as P-value < 0.05.
RESULTS: A total of 1070 women with silicone implants were included (mean age, 50.7 years; range, 40.4-53.8). Median time between reconstructive surgery and first MRI was 88.9 months (range, 0.8-1363.3). Eighteen women (1.7%) had a peri-implant fluid collection and/or mass: 15/18 (83.3%) had adequate follow-up; and only 1/15 was malignant implant associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma, with a PPV of 6.7% (95% CI: 0.003-0.0005). The median peri-implant fluid collection size was 89 mL (range, 18-450 mL).
CONCLUSION: Peri-implant fluid collections and/or masses identified at silicone implant protocol breast MR imaging are rarely seen 24 months after reconstructive surgery. Image-guided fine-needle aspiration with flow cytometry may be warranted to evaluate for implant-associated lymphoma.
