Brentuximab vedotin as monotherapy for unresectable breast implant‐associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma

Abstract

BI-ALCL is a rare CD30+ T-cell malignancy, which is known to complicate textured breast implants. The CD30-targeting immunoconjugate, brentuximab vedotin, has been suggested for invasive BI-ALCL; however, its efficacy for unresectable BI-ALCL has not been demonstrated. We present a case of unresectable BI-ALCL, which was successfully treated with brentuximab vedotin.
