The management of breast intraductal papillary neoplasms of the breast poses a challenge for clinicians. Intraductal papillary carcinoma and papilloma resemble in their clinical features. The aim of this study was to determine whether a combination of clinical factors could be used to accurately identify intraductal papillary carcinoma. 644 patients diagnosed by breast intraductal papillary neo...

Phyllodes tumors of the breast are rare neoplasms that account for <1% of all mammary tumors and 2-3% of fibro-epithelial neoplasms of the breast. We evaluated the clinicopathological characteristics of a cohort of 246 Chinese patients in relation to the expression of epithelial-to-mesenchymal (EMT) markers in benign, borderline and malignant tumors and the prognostic value of different surgica...

Flow cytometric studies of mammary carcinoma have been limited to DNA content analysis. Simultaneous analysis of DNA and RNA has been applied to hematological and certain solid neoplasms and has been shown to provide valuable information in the clinical assessment of these tumors. To determine whether measuring RNA content during flow cytometric analysis provides additional information in the c...

Granular Cell Tumors (GCTs) or Abrikossoffs tumors are ubiquitous lesions that currently assumed to arise from perineural Schwan cells. of the Breast (GCTBs) rare tumors, representing about 5 15 % all GCTs and 6,7 out 1000 cases breast neoplasms. They occur usually in premenopausal African-American women by large benign, even though extremely they can express malignant behavior coexist with les...

intracystic carcinoma of the breast is a rare form of breast carcinoma. among all malignant breast tumors, this lesion has an incidence of 0.2-0.5%. these neoplasms have certain characteristic imaging findings which help to differentiate these lesions from other focal breast abnormalities. this report is on the case of a 48-year-old woman with a palpable, painless lump in her right breast. mamm...

ance are uncommon neoplasms and may be either primary or metastatic. The majority of primary clear cell carcinomas of the breast are rich in cytoplasmic glycogen. Glycogen-rich clear cell carcinoma of the breast is defined as a carcinoma in which more than 90% of neoplastic cells have abundant, clear, glycogen-containing cytoplasm (1). A rare malignant tumor, it accounts for about 1-3% of breas...

Phyllodes tumours (PTs) of the breast are uncommon fibroepithelial neoplasms, comprising 0.3 – 1.0% of all primary breast malignancies in Western countries, but accounting for a higher proportion of primary breast tumours in Asian countries. They are graded as benign, borderline or malignant based on the World Health Organisation (WHO) classification, according to a constellation of 5 histologi...

Background Breast neoplasms are the most common tumors in female dogs, representing about 50% of all cancers in this animal population. The identification of therapeutic agents that can be used as an alternative treatment for this tumor type has proven to be useful. The administration of melatonin, a hormone secreted by the pineal gland, can exercise oncostatic effects in several types of cance...

Female patient with breast tumor, presenting with neurological symptoms; CSF with malignant neoplasms cells (Figure). Any type of neoplasm can spread to the leptomeninges and can be detected in the CSF. Among solid tumors, the dissemination is more frequent with breast, melanomas and lung cancer1,2. The positivity rate of detecting malignant cells in the CSF varies in the literature, usualy is ...
