ABSTRACT
Iatrogenic alogenosis or disease by modeling is produced by the indiscriminate use of allogenic or exogenous substances. It is a procedure used since the nineteenth century for aesthetic purposes to improve body contouring. In Mexico, it is a frequent practice; currently represents a serious public health problem. The lack of knowledge of the pathophysiology of iatrogenic alogenosis and the lack of information of patients and medical personnel leads to complications that worsen or exacerbate a picture of silent immunological characteristics. The spectrum of the disease in its local clinical presentation as systemic, is a direct consequence of the activation of the immune system before the infiltration of foreign substances with a high degree of antigenicity and low degree of biocompatibility. The evaluation of the disease can be done qualitatively by clinical evaluation of nonspecific symptoms of a rheumatic disease, by histopathological or imaging evaluation, or even in a quantitative way by direct measurement of acute phase reactants, antibodies or autoantibodies that focus the diagnosis towards a disease of immunological cause and effect. We present a case of disease by modeling associated with breast cancer.REFERENCES
