Breast implants are associated with well-known common complications that have been widely studied, such as rupture and capsular contraction. However, the increasingly growing number of patients with breast implants has led to the increased likelihood of coming across less common complications; these include seromas or late infection; adenopathies in the internal mammary chain; granulomas in the capsule of the implant, which in some cases can extend beyond the fibrous capsule; desmoid tumors associated with the implants; and breast implant-associated large cell anaplastic lymphoma. This article aims to review the main uncommon complications associated with breast implants and to describe and illustrate their findings in different imaging techniques. Proper management of these complications is important; this is especially true of late seroma and the diagnosis of breast implant-associated large cell anaplastic lymphoma for their repercussions.

BACKGROUND: mammary fibromatosis is a rare pathology. It constitutes 0.2% of breast cancers, and case in men are exceptional. The definitive diagnosis is histological.
METHODS: we report the case of a male of 52 years, diagnosed with breast fibromatosis after pathologic study of tumor in the right breast. Programmed surgery for excision with wide margins was done. We performed a mastectomy of the subcutaneous fibromatosis with a pathologic study with clear margins. The postoperative course was uncomplicated and did not require adjuvant therapy. At 6 months follow-up he remains free of disease. The treatment of choice is surgical excision with wide margins. Adjuvant treatment is controversial.
CONCLUSIONS: the fibromatosis in the breast is very rare and an exceptional occurrence in men. Surgery is the definitive treatment; few results exist for adjuvant therapy.
Antecedentes: la fibromatosis mamaria es una enfermedad rara; sus casos son 0.2% de las neoplasias de mama, y en los varones es aún más rara. El diagnóstico definitivo es anatomopatológico. Caso clínico: se comunica el caso de un varón de 52 años, con diagnóstico anatomopatológico de fibromatosis mamaria posterior al estudio de un tumor en la mama derecha. Se le practicó exéresis con amplios márgenes, luego mastectomía subcutánea, con estudio histológico de fibromatosis con márgenes libres. El postoperatorio transcurrió sin complicaciones y no requirió tratamiento coadyuvante. En el seguimiento a seis meses continuaba libre de enfermedad. El tratamiento de elección es la escisión con amplios márgenes y el oncológico coadyuvante es motivo de controversia. Conclusiones: la fibromatosis en la mama es poco frecuente y su aparición en el varón excepcional. El tratamiento quirúrgico es el definitivo, no así la terapia oncológica neoadyuvante que sigue suscitando controversia.
