A pictorial series of interesting and unusual cases of breast malignancy encountered at triple assessment
نویسندگان
چکیده
Content organisation We present a pictorial series of four patients with unusual breast pathology who initially presented to the triple assessment breast clinic in a tertiary university institution. For each case the imaging features and final diagnoses are critically appraised, along with a review of the literature. We illustrate a case reminiscent of bilateral invasive ductal carcinoma which, after further histological immune profiling, is confirmed to be the first presentation of a metastatic lung cancer. A sarcomatoid carcinoma presents as a densely calcified well-defined lesion on mammography accompanying a synchronous invasive ductal carcinoma and could initially have been seen as benign. We present the imaging features of a fibroadenoma which interestingly was shown to contain DCIS. We also highlight the appearances of a recurrent pleomorphic invasive lobular carcinoma within latissimusdorsi muscle following mastectomy and reconstruction.

However, differences of BRCA1 expression, as a tumor suppressor gene, have rarely been investigated between luminal and triple-negative breast tumors. Therefore, the present study attempted to compare the BRCA1 expression in triple-negative with lu...

متن کاملNecrotizing Sialometaplasia of the Larynx: A Rare Entity Obscuring a Malignancy
Introduction: Necrotizing sialometaplasia is a rare, benign, and self-limiting inflammatory lesion that commonly involves minor salivary glands. It is theoretically associated with ischemia. It is commonly found in the palate, and laryngeal presentation is a very unusual entity. Almost half of such cases have an underlying malignancy; therefore, suspicion of a malignant lesion should be high wh...
