Although both breast cancer and immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) are common conditions, the simultaneous coexistence of these two diseases is rare. ITP is an autoimmune disease in which the presence of autoantibodies against platelets results in splenic sequestration and thrombocytopenia that may be associated with lymphoid neoplasms [1]. Except for an observational case series of 10patien...

Locally advanced breast cancer represents a wide variety of neoplasms and constitutes approximately 10%-20% of the newly diagnosed breast cancers. These cancers may have widely different clinical and biological characteristics. According to the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system, all of stage III disease is considered locally advanced. The clinical treatment of locally adv...

Patients who survive Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) are at increased risk of secondary neoplasms (SNs). A wide variety of SNs have been reported, including leukemias, non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, and solid tumors, specifically breast and thyroid cancers. Herein we report subsequent neoplasms in four patients with HL receiving chemoradiotherapy. It is interesting that three SNs, fibrosarcoma, thyroid carcino...

Introduction: The incidence of multiple primary malignant neoplasms (MPMN) increases with age. While they are nowadays encountered more frequently, the phenomenon is still considered to be rare. Our case represent a rare association between breast and rectal cancer. Multiplicity of primary malignancies itself does not necessarily indicate a poor prognosis as long as adequate diagnosis and manag...

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors are uncommon neoplasms; presentation of these in the lower extremities is extremely rare. Treatment varies depending on type, location and patient factor. Here case 60-year-old female post-menopausal (P2L2) presented with swelling over anterior aspect right leg which was exophytic nature left breast lump. Combined histopathology immunohistochemistry findings ...

Patients with breast cancer exhibit an increased risk in developing neoplasms of other organs. In case of endometrium, the increased risk might be due to tamoxifen adjuvant therapy and prior radiotherapy. Carcinosarcomas are rare uterine cancers and carry poor prognosis. We present a case of Malignant Mixed Mullerian Tumor (MMMT) of the uterus in a 46-year-old woman, after tamoxifen treatment a...

Schwannomas or neurilemmomas are benign neoplasms of the Schwann cells in neural sheaths. They may arise in any nerve in the body and occur frequently in the head and neck region or extremities. While breast lumps and schwannomas are very common, mammary schwannomas are exceedingly scarce with ,30 cases reported in the literature. We describe a case of a breast schwannoma in a 37-year-old femal...

Objective: to evaluate trends of survival in nine index malignant neoplasms (iMNs), which are screened at the first stage Dispanserization certain groups adult population (DCGAP), on data Arkhangelsk regional cancer registry over a period 2006-2019.
 Materials and methods. We compared two seven-year periods 2006-2012 2013-2019, before after introduction DCGAP. The 1- 5-year cancer-specific...

Mucinous carcinoma is a type of ductal carcinoma with a low malignant potential. These tumors account for 2% of the breast carcinomas. These neoplasms are characterized by tumor cells floating in the pools of mucin. The prognosis of pure mucinous carcinoma is favourable when compared to the invasive ductal carcinoma, not otherwise specified. We report a case of 80years female patient presenting...

Ovarian cancer is one of the most common gynaecological neoplasms, especially in industrialised countries. The aetiology of the disease is not well understood, except that inherited mutations in the breast cancer genes BRCA-1 and BRCA-2 account for up to 10% of all cases, and child-bearing, oral contraceptive use and breast-feeding reduce the risk. Some environmental exposures, notably talc and...
