Summary

A case of scleroderma and Sjögren's syndrome, which occurred 9 years after mammoplasty, was reported. The association between mammoplasty and connective tissue disorders was considered to be more than coincidental. The prolonged hypersensitization by injected material may be responsible for the development of connective tissue disorders, that is, a human adjuvant disease.
