^aAssessment of the quality of orientation of capsules of patients with breast implant ALCL with total capsulectomy: Excellent: ≥50% of sections display luminal surface; Adequate: 10–49% of sections show luminal surface; Poor: <10% of capsule sections exhibit luminal surface

^bNegative cases include capsule without identifiable lymphoma cells; lymphoma cells were only in the cytology specimen

^cPathologic stage according to Clemens et al. [15], and Quesada et al. [9]. Pathologic stage T0 modified to include cases with effusion only, without lymphoma cells in capsules
