Late hematoma after breast implantation.

The case of a patient who experienced a late, spontaneous breast
hematoma 9 years after augmentation mammaplasty in the absence of
trauma or anticoagulation is reported. Although hematoma is not an
uncommon complication in the immediate postoperative period, it is
very rare as a late complication of breast implantation. A review of
the literature suggested that a chronic inflammatory reaction to the
polyurethane-coated implants used in the reported patient was the most
likely cause for the complication.
