Show abstract
The risk of ALK-ve ALCL associated with textured breast implants (BIA-ALCL) is a notable example of lymphomas associated with medical devices. We describe 2 cases of ALK-ve ALCL associated with meshes, commonly used devices in surgical procedures such as herniorrhaphy. Our cases, each presenting some 10 years following mesh insertions, show anatomical and causal association to index tumours. In addition, we show that the genetic profile has significant overlaps with BIA-ALCL, invoking similar etiopathogenesis. Hence, we propose that mesh implant associated-ALCL (MIA-ALCL) is an unrecognised association and unreported disease entity that merits recognition, broader investigation, and surveillance.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
