Abstract
|
|
|
|
We present a case report of a patient who experienced a late, spontaneous breast hematoma 26 years after primary breast augmentation. Late hematomas are a rare complication of breast augmentation with uncertain etiology. In this case, there was no trauma, calcifications, or implant rupture. We believe the patient’s hematoma was secondary to erosion of a capsular vessel due to capsular contracture.
