ABSTRACT

The case of a patient who underwent subcutaneous mastectomy followed by implantation of silicone prosthesis and developed a large intracapsular hematoma, 10 years later, requiring surgery is reported. Additional findings and surgical approach are discussed and compared to those described in the literature. The conclusions are that this is a rare condition and etiological factors are yet to be determined. However, proper diagnosis and treatment can prevent major sequelae.
