Background & Objectives: Tubular adenomas are rare benign epithelial tumours of breast affecting predominantly females of child bearing age group. Till now, very small number of cases have been reported in the literature. Present study was carried out to evaluate the clinico-pathological features of tubular adenoma cases diagnosed during three years study period along with discussion of possibl...

Introduction: Pregnancy-associated cancers are malignant neoplasms (MNs) diagnosed during pregnancy or within 12 months after delivery. The study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of pregnancy-associated at population level. Materials and methods: database was created from databases two regional systems: automated system Pregnancy Monitoring Program ONCOR system. Results: Overall, 357 female pat...

Primary Breast Cancer, Urokinase-Type Plasminogen Activator, Inhibitors The aim of the study was to monitor urokinase plasminogen activator antigen concentrations and its type 1 (PAI-1) and type 2 (PAI-2) inhibitors in histologically defined forms of primary breast cancer and a comparison with these antigens levels in normal tissue. Another goal was a search for a relationship/or its lack/betwe...

A composite malignant tumour arising in the breast of an elderly woman is described. The cystic tumour containing areas of squamous metaplasia, bone formation, adenocarcinoma, and osteosarcoma was surrounded by the typical changes of mammary dysplasia (fibroadenosis). The classification and acceptance of such tumours is highly debatable. There is no one acceptable classification of breast sarco...

Phyllodes tumours are rare breast neoplasms that present as painless breast masses. They are classified as benign, malignant and borderline. More rare presentations of these tumours include bilateral asynchronous disease and unilateral multifocal disease. Surgical excision with clear margins remains the treatment of choice for these tumours. The present case report is the first to be discussed ...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of matrine on breast cancer and its underlying mechanism. Matrine is a major component of Sophora flavescens, exhibited antitumor activity in a number of neoplasms, including breast cancer. The present study revealed that matrine inhibited cell viability and induced apoptosis in 4T1 and MCF-7 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner i...

cranial neoplasms seldom calcify and classic histopathological series has revealed the incidence of calcification in brain metastasis to be just about 1% (Sastre-Garriga et al., 2000); furthermore, development of breast cancer in men is a rarity. A 30-year-old man with two year history of breast cancer and chemotherapeutic treatment was admitted in emergency room for the evaluation of moderate ...

Metaplastic carcinoma of breast (MBC) is a rare type of invasive breast carcinoma. It poses diagnostic challenge due to its varied histology and diverse differentiation. These are heterogenous group of tumors in which part or whole of the carcinomatous component is transformed into a metaplastic mesenchymal component and runs an aggressive clinical course. We present two cases of metaplastic ca...
