[A preliminary study of the fibrous capsules around silicone mammary implants in Chinese women].
Specimens obtained from 17 fibrous capsules around the silicone implants were examined with naked eye, and light and electron microscopy. Immunohistochemical staining with various monoclone antibodies was used. It was demonstrated that the main infiltrating cells in the fibrous capsules were mononuclear cells, denoting a rejection reaction. Fibrous tissue was formed to separate the prosthesis from the normal tissue.
