angiosarcomas are endothelial cell neoplasms in the lining of the blood vessel wall and account for about 0.04% of all breast malignancies with a high rate of error in primary diagnosis. the breast angiosarcoma is a rare and uncommon pathology and has been described mostly as case reports. indeed, only a limited number of cases have been published. accordingly, the natural history of this tumor...

Cowden syndrome (CS) is a rare, autosomal dominant inherited disorder associated with multiple benign and malignant neoplasms, including breast cancer. Prophylactic resection of susceptible organs remains controversial. We briefly describe the syndrome and review management of the risk of CS-associated malignancies. Three cases of bilateral risk-reducing mastectomy and immediate breast reconstr...

Primary lymphoma of the breast is a rare occurrence because of the paucity of lymphoid tissue in the breast and is an even rarer entity in the male breast. Imaging, along with tissue diagnosis goes a long way in diagnosing breast lymphoma which has a significantly different management scheme than other breast neoplasms with respect to radio-chemotherapy rather than surgical resection. We presen...

Intracystic carcinoma of the breast is a rare form of breast carcinoma. Among allmalignant breast tumors, this lesion has an incidence of 0.2-0.5%. These neoplasms have certain characteristic imaging findings which help to differentiate these lesions from other focal breast abnormalities.This report is on the case of a 48-year-old woman with a palpable, painless lump in her right breast. Mammog...

antigenic and molecular-weight characteristics which differ from those of CEA obtained from colon tumors (10, 13, 28). An assay specific for breast cancer-derived CEA would have potential usefulness for the early diagnosis and management of human breast carcinoma. However, highly purified extracts of breast CEA suitable for production of specific antisera or radiolabeling have not been prepared...

Cartilage associated with malignant neoplasms of breast has been known and documented for over 200 years. Benign breast tumours containing cartilage are rare. A case of such a tumour was encountered. Histologically it comprised multiple foci of mature benign cartilage in benign fibrous and adipose stroma. Other cases of similar tumours in the literature are reviewed.

PROBLEM Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer among woman. Although there is not known cure to breast cancer, it is generally well accepted that early detection is crucial for improved therapeutic outcome. While mammography has shown to be an effective means of breast cancer detection, it is not 100% accurate, and it averages a 90% detection rate of breast cancer in women without symp...

Breast sarcomas are rare neoplasms arising from the few epithelial elements of the gland. It represents much <1% of all breast cancer. Of the heterogeneous group of sarcomas, the more common subtypes include spindle cell sarcoma. The main risk factor for the development of breast sarcomas is previous radiation therapy following breast-conservation surgery for breast cancer or non-Hodgkin's lymp...
