Reticular telangiectatic erythema by breast implants

Abstract Reticular telangiectatic erythema is a benign dermatosis which has been described on patients with pacemakers, implantable devices or materials inserted in their body. Etiology of this entity hasn't been clarified since the first description in 1981 but it is suggested that physical or mechanical factors have to be involved. We present the second case of bilateral reticular telangiectatic erythema by breast implants described in the literature.
