| Abstract |
Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) is a rare and recently described type of peripheral T-cell lymphoma. Fewer than 550 cases have been reported worldwide. Although BIA-ALCL is usually indolent, early diagnosis and treatment have been shown to improve outcome. This case report describes the management of a 50-year-old healthy Caucasian woman presenting with rapid painful enlargement of the left breast. Imaging revealed findings consistent with BIA-ALCL. This diagnosis was confirmed by fine needle aspiration cytology and subsequent pathological analysis. Bilateral removal of implants, complete left capsulectomy and immediate bilateral implant exchange were performed. No consensus currently exists regarding optimal time of implant exchange and management of the contralateral capsule. The immediate replacement with smooth implants was thoroughly discussed with the patient and endorsed by expert opinion, given complete removal of the disease. There was no sign of recurrence at 6 months. Close clinical and radiological visits are planned for the next years. This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 11 August 2018.
All research outputs
#20,529,980
of 23,099,576 outputs
Outputs from Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
#1,019
of 1,235 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#289,155
of 331,391 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
#7
of 12 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,099,576 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,235 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.8. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 331,391 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 12 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
