40-year-old woman had bilateral silicone breast implants placed two years ago. Since that time, she has noted increased firmness with slight deformity of the breast on the left. The implants are removed, and there is evidence for leakage of the implant contents on the left. Which of the following cell types is most likely to be most characteristic of the inflammatory response in this situation?

A Mast cell

B Eosinophil

C Giant cell

D Neutrophil

E Plasma cell

  #2

A mast cell

Many cells characterize chronic inflammatory infiltrates. Plasma cells exist there, but of the options you gave, the best possible answer is giant cells.

BTW, instead of "Q" in the topic, can you please put something different? Something that drags the attention of the visitors? It is rather unfriendly if the only topics displayed are endless rows with "Q".

Thats a good point for the original topics! That way we can index.
