Do biomaterials cause implant-associated mesenchymal tumors of the breast? Analysis of 8 new cases and review of the literature
Human Pathology, 08/18/09

Balzer BL et al. – The authors conclude that IAMT comprise 2 distinct groups—fibromatosis and sarcoma. Surgical trauma, perhaps occurring in patients with a predisposition to develop desmoid tumors, could account for fibromatosis in this setting. The causal relationship between implants and sarcomas is difficult to assess given the rarity of these tumors and that some may be radiation induced. However, at present, there is insufficient evidence to claim that they are biomaterial related.
