Breast repaired by silicone implant. Case report of necrobiosis lipoidica [Nécrobiose lipo?dique sur sein reconstruit par implant en silicone: à propos d'un cas]

摘要

The authors report a very rare case of necrobiosis lipoidica, histopathologically confirmed, which happened in the breast a few months following the insertion of a silicone implant (post-mastectomy reconstruction). This case raises two problems: the physiopathology (role of the silicone implant) and the treatment of this accident, resistant to current therapy.
