Health Lover, Ilena Rosenthal, declines the anonymous "J" who
recommends Health Fraud and Vaccination Propagandist, Peter Moran, as
an 'authority.' No thanks.
I don't believe there is only a 'casual' relationship between a
ruptured implant sitting which is sitting on a lymphoma in a 32 year
old woman. I believe there is an enormous 'junk science' campaign
funded by several industries (vaccinations & breast implants amongst
them) ... that attempt to minimize the connections. Those of us who
work directly with the women with no profit motive like the industries
do ... find out what is really happening in the bodies of women post
implants.

Note from Ilena Rosenthal: We have had several women in our
international support group be diagnosed with lymphoma ... and a few
have had the lymphomas, exactly where their implants were ... such as
this one.

Anaplastic large-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the breast in
periprosthetic localisation 32 years after treatment for primary
breast cancer--a case report.Fritzsche FR, Pahl S, Petersen I,

Primary, as well as secondary, lymphomas of the breast are rare
diseases and might, in some cases, be misdiagnosed as breast cancer on
routine hematoxylin/eosin stainings. We report a case of an anaplastic
large cell lymphoma in a 72-year-old woman with a history of breast
cancer treated with breast-ablative surgery and a subsequent silicon
implant 32 years ago. Clinically, she presented with an ulceration of
the skin, which had developed within a few months. On conventional
histology, the tumor cells were mimicking poorly differentiated
invasive ductal carcinoma with a prominent leukocytic infiltrate. The
immunoprofile of the tumor showed negativity for cytokeratins
and led to the diagnosis of a CD30-positive anaplastic large cell
lymphoma.
