METHODS: In this paper, we discussed a case of a patient with initial BII diagnosis, after breast reconstruction, and reviewed the literature on the BII symptoms and aetiology. A decision for aesthetic revision, not explantation, was made as the diagnosis of BII was questioned, and somatisation due to dissatisfaction with the aesthetic result of breast reconstruction was diagnosed.
RESULTS: Improving aesthetics by implant exchange and contralateral mastopexy caused a full recovery from patient\'s symptoms.
CONCLUSIONS: Based on our case, we point on the fact that BII diagnosis in patients after breast reconstruction is challenging. We suggest that while considering such a diagnosis and further proceedings, e.g. explantation, especially in patients after breast reconstruction, some exclusion criteria should be considered. Dissatisfaction with the result of the surgery can also lead to somatisation and the presence of real clinical symptoms, which should not be confused with the possible autoimmune reaction to silicone particles.

方法:在本文中,我们讨论了一个初步诊断为BII的病人,乳房重建后,并回顾了有关BII症状和病因的文献。美学修正的决定,不是外植体,是在对BII的诊断提出质疑时做出的,并诊断出由于对乳房重建的美学结果不满意而导致的躯体化。
结果:通过更换植入物和对侧乳房固定术改善美观,使患者症状完全恢复。
结论:根据我们的案例,我们指出,乳房再造后患者的BII诊断具有挑战性.我们建议在考虑这种诊断和进一步诉讼的同时,例如,外植体,尤其是乳房重建后的患者,应考虑一些排除标准.对手术结果的不满意也会导致躯体化和真实临床症状的存在,这不应与对有机硅颗粒的可能的自身免疫反应相混淆。
