Abstract
Objective: To conduct an updated narrative review about Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma Associated with Breast Implants (BIA-ALCL), through discussions around the main issues surrounding the disease. Furthermore, it aims to spread information that helps doctors and students in the field to recognize possible manifestations of the neoplasia, as well as to act in the management of suspected cases. Bibliographic review: BIA-ALCL is a rare type of lymphoma associated with texturing of breast implants. However, in view of the high and growing number of aesthetic and reconstructive surgeries performed in Brazil and worldwide, the disease acquires remarkable relevance in medical practice. Its most frequent form of presentation occurs long after the placement of the prosthesis and can be diagnosed by ultrasound, with treatment usually based on surgical removal of the implant together with the fibrous capsule. Final considerations: The article sought to gather evidence about the neoplasia so that aspects related to the theme could be elucidated, including those related to the doctor-patient discussion about the risks related to textured implants, as well as the need for periodic monitoring with the professional.
