Sjögren's syndrome after silicone breast implantation.
European journal of rheumatology(2015)
Abstract
Sjögren's syndrome, an autoimmune disease characterized by lymphocytic infiltration of the lacrimal and salivary glands, leads to dryness of the mouth and eyes. Herein, we present a case of Sjögren's syndrome that developed after silicone breast implantation. A cause-effect relationship between breast implantation and Sjögren's syndrome has not been established. However, the possibility of such an association should be considered when a patient with silicone implants is admitted to the hospital for treatment of Sjögren's syndrome.
