OBJECTIVE To investigate the magnitude of breast diseases, and its frequency distribution in different age groups in Hadramout, Yemen. METHODS This is a prospective study conducted at the Central Laboratory of Ibn-Sinna Hospital, Hadramout, Yemen from January 2006 to December 2009. Patients attending surgical units for breast problems were eligible. Patients were assessed clinically and refer...

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a widespread pathogen that is found in milk, saliva, urine, cervical secretions, and semen fluid. It is supposed that CMV is a risk factor for breast cancer. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of CMV among benign and malignant breast tumors. Paraffin embedded breast carcinoma (n=24) and fibroadenoma (n=24) samples were collected from Toos and Firoozgar...

Risk factors for fibroadenoma were investigated in a cohort of 265,402 female textile workers in Shanghai, China, who were interviewed at enrollment into a randomized trial of breast self-examination between October 1989 and October 1991 and followed until July 2000. Based on 1,507 women who developed fibroadenoma, relative risks and trends in risk were estimated using Cox regression. The risk ...

Despite extensive research for many years throughout the world, the etiopathogenesis of cancer still remains obscure. Oxidative stress have been associated with the risk of breast cancer. A total number of 121 subjects are studied, comprising of 35 controls, 26 fibroadenoma and 60 Breast cancer subjects. Breast cancer subjects were further divided depending on stage of the cancer. Serum levels ...

Fibroadenomas are one of the most common benign tumors of the breast. Malignant transformation from fibroadenoma to cancer is rare. We present a case of an invasive ductal carcinoma within an otherwise benign fibroadenoma with lung metastasis in a 69-year-old woman.

INTRODUCTION There has been no previous study to classify benign breast lesions in details based on histopathologically confirmed diagnosis in Bayelsa State, Nigeria. This study therefore aims to review all cases of benign breast lesions seen in all the three centres in Bayelsa State with histopathology services over a five year period for a comprehensive baseline data in our community for mana...

Phyllodes tumors of the breast are rare breast tumors that resemble fibroadenoma. They are composed of two types of tissues: stromal and glandular tissues. Unlike fibroadenoma, they are commonly found in the third decade of life and they tend to grow more rapidly. Depending on the relative components of the cells and mitotic activity, they are classified into benign, borderline, and malignant. ...

Aberrant breast tissue can occur anywhere along the embryonic mammary streak. Its presence in the vulva is an uncommon clinical or pathological finding. The ectopic breast tissue can be the site of the same physiological or pathological process found in the normal breast. The developing of fibroadenoma is a rare entity and has rarely been reported in the literature. A case report of 46-years-ol...
