Recording Rare Cases of Lymphoma Linked to Breast Implants in Spain
June 5, 2026
In Spain, 111 cases of a rare lymphoma linked to breast implants have been reported. This lymphoma does not develop in the breast tissue but in immune system cells. Authorities emphasize that, despite the existence of these cases, the frequency is low compared to the total number of women with breast implants. Research is ongoing to investigate potential causes for the development of the lymphoma. The mechanism leading to the appearance of the disease remains unclear and requires further study.
