[Granulomatous pleurisy after mammaplasty, induced by polyacrylamide gel].
A case of iatrogenic granulomatous pleurisy in a 36-year-old female developed after cosmetic correction of the mammary gland shape with polyacrylamide gel (an interfall injection). Symptoms of spontaneous left-side pneumothorax developed one month after the manipulation. Histological examination of the parietal and visceral pleura biopsy revealed multiple non-immune corpuscular mature macrophagal granulomas around gel particles resulting in the pleura damage and pneumothorax. A complete recovery. This is the first publication of pneumothorax of such genesis.
