Clinical spectrum of connective tissue disease after cosmetic surgery
Abstract
Connective tissue disease has been reported to occur following cosmetic surgery with injection of the foreign substances paraffin and silicone (human adjuvant disease). The clinical findings in 18 such patients and a review of 28 additional cases from the Japanese literature are presented. The patients were classified into 2 major groups: group I consisted of 24 patients with definite connective tissue disease—12 with scleroderma, including 8 with progressive systemic sclerosis (PSS), 6 with rheumatoid arthritis, 5 with systemic lupus erythematosus, and 1 with polymyositis; group II consisted of 22 patients with human adjuvant disease with some symptoms, signs, and laboratory abnormalities suggestive, but not diagnostic of a connective tissue disease. The occurrence of PSS is approximately three‐fold greater than expected for all women believed to have undergone such surgery, and PSS developed primarily in individuals injected with paraffin. Prolonged exposure to the injected substance may play a role in the induction of these immunologic disorders.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
