Abstract
The authors report the case of a 46-year old woman who, 7 years after bilateral implantation of a silicone breast prosthesis, presented with a seropositive rheumatoid arthritis involving the shoulders, wrists, metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal joints of both hands, as well as the knees and ankles. Six months after the onset of the arthritis, she developed a Raynaud's syndrome and a lacrymal and salivary dry syndrome with unilateral axillary lymphadenopathy. No regression followed the removal of the breast prostheses, one of which was found broken.
