RESUMEN
CASE PRESENTATION: A newborn girl presented to the hospital on the first day of life because of respiratory failure. She was born at home at 37 weeks' gestation with minimal prenatal care and was found to be small for gestational age. The patient was found to have partial sternal agenesis and sternal cleft, cutis aplasia, left facial hemangioma, micrognathia, wide-spaced nipples, and low-set ears. The mother's and baby's urine toxicology screening were positive for amphetamines. Chest radiographs on admission showed bilateral hazy opacities. CT scan of the chest showed an absent sternum with midline chest wall concavity. The patient was monitored preoperatively in the cardiac ICU for risks of arrythmia, respiratory failure, altered cardiac output, and acute cardiopulmonary decompensation.

OBJECTIVE: Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is a rare form of non-Hodgkin T-cell lymphoma potentially associated with silicone-shelled breast implants. The low incidence of ALCL has prevented establishment of causality. Many implantable devices are constructed with biomaterials similar to those used in breast prostheses. The purpose of this paper is to identify reports of ALCL in association with other types of implantable devices. METHODS: A literature review was conducted using PubMed to identify reports of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in association with various implantable devices. RESULTS: One case of ALCL was identified in association with a stainless steel internal fixation plate. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma was widely reported in association with various implantable biomaterials and chronic inflammation. CONCLUSION: The neoplastic response associated with breast prostheses appears substantively different from other implantable devices. Physicians caring for patients with silicone elastomer-containing implants should have increased suspicion for implant-associated ALCL and report all pertinent cases in the literature.
