It has been shown by several groups that neoadjuvant chemotherapy in locally advanced breast cancer was poorly effective; a complete pathological response was seldom even if a clinical response allowing a conservative treatment could be observed [1–3]. Since then, a neoadjuvant chemotherapy was rarely proposed in patients with lobular carcinoma. Conversely, the lobular type has not been conside...

Male breast cancer is rare, comprising only 1% of all mammary cancers; invasive ductal carcinoma is by far the commonest subtype in both men and women. Though lobular breast cancer is the second most common subtype seen in women, such cancers are extremely uncommon in men, and this is likely related to the lack of lobular development in the male breast. Thus, due to the rarity of this subtype a...

Background: Breast cancer is one of the most common women’s cancers, and the number of cases is increasing worldwide. Objective: The current study compared invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) and invasive ductal carcinoma with regard to the prevalence of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and age prevalence. Methods: T...

Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) and lung cancer are both common diseases with poor prognosis high mortality worldwide. The coexistence of the two has rarely been reported while their relationship noted. Here we describe a patient diagnosed TB squamous cell carcinoma in single lesion. had cough for four months polypnea months, smoking history over 40 years. Chest computed tomography (CT) showed lobu...

BACKGROUND A case of lobular carcinoma in a male breast is described. Lobular carcinoma is a very uncommon histopathologic form of male breast cancer because of the absence of lobules in the normal male breast. The cytoarchitecture of the normal male breast can be deranged in conditions such as Klinefelter's syndrome or as a result of estrogen exposure. Lobular carcinoma of the male breast has ...

breast cancers (1). Moreover, it differs from invasive ductal carcinoma, the most common histologic subtype of breast cancer, not only with respect to histologic and mammographic characteristics, but also in the pattern of metastatic spread (2). While the spread to the lymph nodes, lung and liver is common in both ductal and lobular carcinomas, invasive lobular carcinoma has been found to metas...

INTRODUCTION Solitary uterine metastases from extragenital cancers are very rare. Breast cancer is the most frequent primary site of metastasis to the uterine corpus, with invasive lobular carcinoma more likely to spread to gynecologic organs than invasive ductal carcinoma. CASE PRESENTATION A 62-year-old postmenopausal Japanese woman was diagnosed with uterine leiomyomata more than 20 years ...

Breast cancer is usually associated with metastases to lungs, bones and liver. Breast carcinoma metastasizing to the gallbladder is very rare. We report the case of 45-year-old female with clinical presentation of acute Cholecystitis, who underwent cholecystectomy in emergency. The Gallbladder showed a nodule on the Gallbladder wall. Histological examination disclosed a metastasis from a lobula...
