Department of Internal Diseases, Haematology and Endocrinology,

Warsaw , Poland . Still's

disease is a systemic manifestation of juvenile arthritis that rarely occurs in

adults and therefore is often forgotten in differential diagnosis of fever of

unknown origin. The case presented here shows diagnostic difficulties in a

patient with silicone breast implants and fever with Still disease. The

cause-effect relationship between breast implants and Still disease is not

certain, however, this possibility should be considered when a patient with

fever resistant to antibiotics and with silicone implants is admitted to the

hospital. PMID:

Systemic inflammatory diseases and silicone breast prostheses: report of a case

of adult still disease and review of the literature.

There

has been a debate about the possibility of a link between silicone breast

implants and the onset of systemic connective tissue diseases (eg, scleroderma,

systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis) and other inflammatory

pathologies, such as silicone implant associated syndrome and adult Still

disease. We report a case of adult Still disease in a patient with a silicone

gel breast implant. The disease regressed with steroidal treatment, and the

patient is now no longer steroid-dependent, although the implant is still in

place. PMID:
