Angiosarcoma of the breast is rare and has a poor prognosis due to its aggressive nature. This is a report of two patients with mammary angiosarcomas, each with different clinical presentations, and at either end of the age spectrum. One is an 18-year-old woman who presented with a rapidly enlarging breast mass, and the other a 72-year-old woman whose breast mass was found during screening mamm...

Mucinous carcinoma of the breast is a well differentiated, rare histological type of invasive ductal carcinoma, seen in oldest median age (69 years). We describe a case of a 60 yr old female with large right breast mass of 10 years duration with no nodal involvement. The reasons to present this case are 1) Because of its rarity. 2) Despite having a large tumour size, the axillary lymph node ...

PURPOSE The frequency and outcome of breast symptoms have not been well characterized in primary care settings. To enhance and inform physician practice, this study aims to establish the proportion of visits and resultant diagnoses by age by examining longitudinal data on breast-related reasons for encounter. METHODS We used data from a prospective longitudinal sample of patients seeking care...

BACKGROUND/AIM Posterior breast cancers are located in the prepectoral region of the breast. Owing to this distinctive anatomical localization, physical examination and mammographic or ultrasonographic evaluation can be difficult. The purpose of the study was to assess possibilities of diagnostic mammography and breast ultrasonography in detection and differentiation of posterior breast cancers...

Epidermal inclusion cysts are uncommon in the breast, but the consequences can be severe when these cysts occur in the breast parenchyma. Here, we report two such cases. The patient in case 1 was an 37-year-old woman with a 3-cm palpable mass in the right breast. Mammography revealed a round and smoothly outlined mass, which indicated a benign tumor, and sonography showed an irregularly shaped ...

Breast skin and parenchyma are metastatic sites for various tumours. Metastasis to the breast is rare, but it must be considered in the differential diagnosis of a breast mass. Melanoma is among the most commonly reported metastatic tumours of the breast. With the increasing incidence of melanoma, this complication is being encountered with greater frequency. Melanoma has different manifestatio...

INTRODUCTION The breast is a rare site for metastatic disease. We report a rare case of breast metastasis 9 years after nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and include a review of the relevant literature. PRESENTATION OF CASE An 82-year-old woman who developed an RCC underwent left nephrectomy in 2005. In October 2014, computed tomography (CT) revealed a mass of approximately 1cm in th...

This study aimed to evaluate the reproducibility of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measurements in malignant breast masses, and to determine the influence of mammographic parenchymal density on this reproducibility. Sixty-six patients with magnetic resonance findings of the mass were included. Two breast radiologists measured the ADC of the malignant breast mass and the same area on the c...
