Implant type in the remaining 32 BIA-ALCL cases who received breast implants for cosmetics purposes was Allergan/Inamed/McGhan (n = 15), Eurosilicone (n = 3), Rofill PIP (n = 1), Monobloc (n = 1), Sebbin (n = 1), Mentor (n = 1), Nagor (n = 1), and unknown (n = 9). Other detailed information on these cases can be found in the supplements of de Boer et al.
