Abstract：
:Silicone breast implants have been surgical routine for over 30 years. An association between silicone augmentation and immune related diseases has been reported in approximately 100 cases. In a retrospective single center study we investigated 36 non-selected women with silicone breast implants and 36 sex- and age-matched controls. Autoimmune reactions were evaluated by measuring antinuclear antibodies (ANA), rheumatoid factor (RF) and thyroid gland antibodies (TMS), along with angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), C-reactive protein (CRP) and other immunological and laboratory parameters. In the controls only 3 (8%) women had an elevated ANA titer and 1 demonstrated thyroid autoantibodies (microsomal), giving a total of 4 (11%) women with detectable autoantibodies. By contrast, 12 (33%) of the 36 women with silicone augmentation had raised ANA titers (> or = 1 : 80), a significantly higher percentage than in the control group (p < 0.02). Of the 12 women, 1 showed antismooth muscle antibodies (ASMA; titer 1 : 40) and 2 of the patients displayed antineutrophilic cytoplasm antibodies (ANCA; 1 : 320 and 1 : 40, respectively), one of the latter also being positive for rheumatoid factor. 2 further women demonstrated thyroid autoantibodies (microsomal), giving a total of 14 (39%) women in whom significant autoantibodies were detectable. Clinical symptoms (musculoskeletal) were present in 1 patient. Most of the observed autoantibodies were organ-unspecific, with a predominance of elevated ANA titers of the heterogeneous type and not related to a distinct clinical entity. However, none of the investigated women with silicone breast implants showed clinical symptoms or signs of connective tissue disease according to ARA criteria.
