Will the detected lung foci in patients with a burdened oncological history (breast cancer) always be metastatic? In response to question posed, we present clinical case of pulmonary sarcoidosis mimicking metastatic lesion metaplastic breast cancer. And remind need for differential diagnosis, despite patient and radiation diagnostics data.

We have developed a family of quantitative descriptors in order to provide noninvasive, reliable means of distinguishing benign from malignant breast lesions. These include acoustic descriptors (“echogenicity,” “heterogeneity,” “shadowing”) and morphometric descriptors (“area,” “aspect ratio,” “border irregularity,” “margin definition”). These quantitative descriptors are designed to be indepen...

BACKGROUND Although intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) of the pancreas is acceptable as a distinct disease entity, the concept of mucin-secreting biliary tumors has not been fully established. CASE PRESENTATION We describe herein a case of mucin secreting biliary neoplasm. Imaging revealed a cystic lesion 2 cm in diameter at the left lateral segment of the liver. Duodenal endoscop...

The current investigation was conducted to evaluate the proportional distribution of the various histologic subtypes (including newly recognized variants) of male breast carcinomas, to determine whether any histologic subtypes occur with a frequency that is markedly discordant with the expected frequencies from published data on parallel female breast tumors. We also aimed to document the distr...

introduction: the gastrin releasing peptide (grp) receptor is over expressed in a variety of common human tumors. radiolabeled bombesin analogues have exhibited high binding affinity for these receptors. the aim of this study was to assess the value of a new 99mtc-bombesin analog in the differentiation of malignant from benign breast tumors. methods: 99mtc-bombesin scans were performed in 21 pa...

Introduction: Infarction is a very rare complication of fibroadenoma. Diagnosis such situation not easy. Case Presentation: 23-year-old woman with painful tumor the right breast mild erythema at periareolar region. Breast ultrasound shows heterogeneous lesion 31×30 mm, in retroareolar well-defined borders, and does present vascular flow inside. Antibiotic treatment was administered without impr...

Papillary lesions of the breast include a broad spectrum of lesions, ranging from benign papilloma, papilloma with atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) or ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) to papillary carcinoma. The accurate diagnosis of mammary papillary lesions is a challenge for pathologists, owing to the overlapping features among these lesions. In this review, some of the diagnostic criteria o...

UNLABELLED Frozen section examination is aimed at making a preoperative diagnosis, determining the benign or malignant nature of a breast lesion, but also the most suitable surgical procedure. The sensitivity and specificity of this method and the causes of discrepancies were analyzed in a retrospective study of 2 177 breast lesions. METHOD 1,150 frozen sections from 2,177 breast lesions were...

A clinical case of a 9-year-old patient who seeks care for elevated lesions the oral mucosa is presented. disease caused by HPV was diagnosed. This might potentially involve child abuse due to modes transmission. On examination, an ulcerated papillary lesion approximately 0.5 cm observed in right lip corner. Multiple raised warty were seen on both cheeks and lower labial mucosa. We conclude abo...

Our experience with 12 papillary breast lesions included eight intraductal papillomas, three primary papillary carcinomas, and one metastatic papillary ovarian carcinoma. Five of the eight intraductal papillomas displayed diagnostic findings including tridimensional papillary fragments of ductal cells with distended cytoplasmic vacoules and dense scalloped cytoplasm. Three intraductal papilloma...
