Despite the progress achieved in the treatment of breast cancer, there are still many unsolved clinical issues, being the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of papillary diseases, one of the highest challenges. Because of its unpredictable clinical behavior, treatment of intraductal papilloma has generated a great controversy. Even though considered as a benign lesion, it presents high rate of...

We present the case of a 55-year-old postmenopausal female who presented with complaints of a gradually increasing painless subareolar mass in the left breast of 4 months' duration. Left-sided modified radical mastectomy was performed and the specimen was histopathologically diagnosed as invasive papillary carcinoma. Immunohistochemistry confirmed this diagnosis. All 8 excised axillary lymph no...

background: breast conservation therapy (bct) is the standard of care for early stage breast cancer. the procedure can be a challenge for the surgeon if the lesion is non-palpable. for excision of non-palpable breast lesions, they should be localized precisely before surgery. there are different techniques such as the wgl (wire guided localization), roll (radio-guided occult lesion localization...

background tomosynthesis is a new technology of digital mammography that enables the acquisition of a three - dimensional image and allows visualization of cancers not apparent by conventional mammography. ultrasound (us) is also used for tumor monitoring, which is highly operator dependent and has some problems with reproducibility. us is also an easily available and noninvasive modality. our ...

OBJECTIVE To see the efficiency, adequacy and accuracy of toluidine blue stained smears of FNAC of Breast thyroid and salivary glands swelling with comparison to conventional stained FNAC smears with Papanicolaou. METHODS A total of 114 aspirates from various sites were included in the study. The smears were stained with toluidine blue and conventional Papanicolaou stain and the cytomorpholog...

Solid papillary carcinoma of the breast is a low-grade tumor originating in the ductal epithelium. It is commonly seen in post-menopausal women and accounts for <1% of all breast cancers. Patients can be asymptomatic, have nipple discharge or present with abnormal mammographic findings. Despite of some radiological features solid papillary carcinoma cannot be accurately diagnosed by imaging alo...

the papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum (pcl), also called warthin&apos;s tumor, is a benign salivary gland tumor which primarily involves the parotid gland. these lesions are composed of a double layer of cuboidal or culmnar eosinophilic cells lining a cystic cavity which lymphoid tissue is present in the supporting stroma. the lesions shows a predilection for males, with peak incidence during...

Objective(s): Controversy exists about the localization of non-palpable breast lesions. In many countries, the gold standard for the diagnosis of these lesions is needle localization due to its accuracy. This study sought to compare the ultrasoundand radio-guided occult lesion localization (ROLL) as a simple method with the conventional procedures in terms of their diagnostic power. Methods: Th...

Both intraparenchymal papillary meningioma and papillary meningioma with cyst formation of brainstem have never been reported. The authors present an extremely rare case of patient with intraparenchymal papillary meningioma of brainstem. A 23-year-old Chinese male presented with a 4-month history of progressive left upper limb and facial nerve palsy. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a cystic...

INTRODUCTION Intracystic papillary carcinoma represents a small distinctive subgroup of noninvasive breast cancer, accounts for <0.5% of breast malignancies and is extremely rare in men, it was originally reported as a localized non-invasive carcinoma, but is usually associated with ductal carcinoma in situ around the main tumor or invasive carcinoma. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of 50-...
