Aberrant breast tissue is usually found in proximity to the normal breast, that is, in the axillary, sternal or clavicular regions. Carcinoma occurs more frequently in the aberrant tissue of the axilla than the extra-axillary site though the overall incidence of tumors of aberrant breast tissue is low. To our knowledge, studies regarding the carcinoma of aberrant breast tissue of the extra-axil...

INTRODUCTION The incidence of cutaneous metastasis in patients with cancer is estimated to be 0.6% to 10.4%. In women, breast cancer is the most frequent primary malignancy metastasizing to the skin. A large study reported that cutaneous metastasis occurs in 23.9% of patients with breast carcinoma. Different patterns of cutaneous breast carcinoma metastasis have been described, including nodula...

Recently, growing interest in the potential link between metabolic disorders (i.e., diabetes, obesity, metabolic syndrome) and breast cancer has mounted, including studies which indicate that diabetic/hyperinsulinemic women have a significantly higher risk of bearing breast tumors that are more aggressive and associated with higher death rates. Insulin signaling is regarded as a major contribut...

AbstractMammary tissue, skeletal muscle, and spleen are less frequently affected by mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB).The most common age for breast TB is between 50 and 70. On this article, we are reporting a 72-year-old womanwho presented with chronic cough, lobar consolidation in right middle lobe (RML) on the CXR, and a massin her right breast revealed on the physical examination. Biopsy from...

Primary soft tissue sarcomas of the breast constitute less than 5% of all soft tissue sarcomas and less than 1% of malignant breast cancers. The rarity of this tumor limits most studies to small retrospective case reviews and case reports. Primary breast sarcomas are locally aggressive tumors as evidenced by the high rate of local recurrence when excisional surgery is performed. A contemporary ...

The expression of ANO1 is considered to have diagnostic specificity for gastrointestinal stromal tumors. However, its function as a calcium-activated chloride channel suggests that the expression of ANO1 is not restricted to gastrointestinal stromal tumors. Recently, it has been reported that ANO1 has roles in the progression of human malignant tumors. However, the role of ANO1 in breast carcin...

bilateral synchronous male breast cancer is very rare. a 63-year-old male presented with rapidly progressive enlarging bilateral breast masses without ulceration and bloody nipple discharge. synchronous bilateral breast cancer was diagnosed by fine needle aspiration cytology. pathology study revealed grade 2 invasive ductal carcinoma in both breasts. he underwent a bilateral modified radical ma...

Solid papillary carcinoma of breast is rare variety of breast cancer. Here we report one such case of a 46 year female patient presented with painless lump in left breast. After provisional diagnosis of ductal carcinoma in fine needle aspiration cytology, the patient underwent modified radical mastectomy. On histopathology, diagnosis of solid papillary carcinoma of breast was made. The tumor wa...

BACKGROUND Fever can be the presenting symptom of metastatic breast carcinoma, but the combination of fever, polyarthritis, and an erythematous rash as a paraneoplastic syndrome in breast carcinoma is very rare. METHODS The clinical course of a 49-year-old female with a history of ductal breast carcinoma who presented with fever of unknown origin, polyarthritis, and an erythematous rash is de...
