Abstract

Three cases of chronic expanding hematoma occurring within the capsule surrounding breast implants are described. All developed at least 4 years after the last operation. No identifiable etiology could be demonstrated. Although this pathologic entity has been widely reported in other anatomic locations, a periprosthetic chronic expanding hematoma of the breast has not been described previously.
