Síndrome ASIA: prótesis mamarias y enfermedad de Still. Medicina (B. Aires) [online]. 2017, vol.77, n.5, pp.424-426. ISSN 0025-7680.
Connective tissue diseases associated with silicone breast implants have been widely discussed. In the last decade, siliconosis has been included in the autoimmune/inflammatory syndrome induced by adjuvants (ASIA) next to Gulf War syndrome, macrophage myofascitis and postvaccination phenomena. The ASIA syndrome may appear as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or more rarely, as adult Still’s disease. We discuss the case of a patient with prolonged fever and clinical criteria for ASIA and Still’s disease. The prostheses were resected and pathology showed absence of breast implant associated anaplastic lymphoma ALK (-). Physicians should be alert to these new entities linked to silicone breast implants.
