The FDA said that its research showed the risk of developing breast-implant associated (BIA)
ALCL with Allergan's Biocell textured implants was "approximately six times the risk of BIA-ALCL with textured implants from other manufacturers marketing in the US."
(TOKYO: 4519) announced today that it filed an application for ALK Inhibitor, Alecensa[R] capsule 150 mg (generic name: alectinib) to MHLW for an additional indication of recurrent or refractory ALK fusion gene-positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALK-positive
ALCL).
"Recently however, it has been hypothesized that the relationship of
ALCL with the placement of textured silicone implants may not [be] limited to the breast due to its multifactorial nature and association with texturization of the implant surface," they added.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) identified over 450 cases of (www.ibtimes.com/rare-type-cancer-linked-breast-implants-2761312)
ALCL caused by breast implants in the past eight years.
National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines recommend that if patients with primary refractory or relapsed PTCL-NOS, ALK-negative
ALCL, AITL, or enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma had intention to transplantation, allo-HSCT should be considered.
The final histopathologic diagnosis was that of a CD30-positive lymphoproliferative disorder according to the WHO classification, the differential including anaplastic large cell lymphoma (
ALCL) and LyP.
ALK positivity was initially considered evidence of systemic
ALCL; however, ALK+ cases of PC-ALCL have been described, mainly in children (1, 6).

Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (
ALCL) is a rare nonHodgkin T-cell lymphoma characterized by large lymphoid cells with abundant cytoplasm, pleomorphic, horseshoeshaped nuclei, and uniform CD30/Ki-1 expression [1, 4, 5].
The predominant subtype is diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL); however follicular (FL), small lymphocytic (SLL), marginal zone (MZL), and anaplastic large cell lymphoma (
ALCL) have been described [1, 4].
Many complications are reported inherent to breast silicone implants, such as late seroma, infections, rejections, intraand extracapsular ruptures, contractures, and more recently, anaplastic large cell lymphoma (
ALCL) [1].

AlCl 3 .
The patient remains in good health, being three years post initial presentation with the diagnosis of
ALCL.
(1) According to that study, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most prevalent form, while anaplastic large cell lymphoma (
ALCL), lymphoblastic lymphoma, and Burkitt-like lymphoma are forms with lower prevalence.
The FDA does caution there is a "very low but increased risk" of developing analplastic large cell lymphoma (
ALCL) from implants.
