Abbreviations: EVG, elastic van Gieson; MRI, magnetic resonance imaging; PAS, periodic acid-Schiff Mammary Paget’s disease is usually localized in the nipple epidermis and lactiferous duct near the nipple (Lloyd et al., 2000). Breast conservative therapy has been attempted for such a patient (Pierce et al., 1997). However, this method may not be appropriate for all patients with Paget’s disease...

Many theoretical and experimental models indicate that androgen receptors can play an important role as prognostic factors in breast cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlations between the presence of androgen receptors on cancer cells and other selected prognostic and predictive factors with established clinical significance in women with breast cancer after radical surgical...

Primary nonHodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) occurs in both nodal and extranodal sites. Lymphoma arising in mammary tissue is rare. The majority are of B-cell origin, while a few case studies of T-cell lymphomas of the breast have been reported. The clinical and histologic features of a 74-year-old female diagnosed with T-cell mammary lymphoma are reported, as well as her treatment course and follow-up....

Granulomatous mastitis is a rare benign inflammatory disease of the breast with multiple etiologies such as tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, foreign body reaction, and mycotic and parasitic infections. In contrast, idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) is characterized by the presence of chronic granulomatous lobulitis in the absence of an obvious etiology. Clinically and radiologically it may mimi...

BACKGROUND: In the routine work-up of suspect breast lesions, ultrasound-controlled core needle biopsy (CNB) is the most common tool to acquire tissue for histopathologic analysis in a safe, quick and convenient way. Complications are generally rare. The most common complications are hematoma and infection, each with less than 1 in 1000 cases. CASE REPORT: Here, we present a case of a 48-year-...

Primary breast chondrosarcoma has been rarely reported in the literature. Conservative breast surgery has never been part of the management of previously reported cases. Surgery remains the mainstay management of such a disease as it is resistant to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. In this report, we present a case of rare primary myxoid chondrosarcoma of the breast that was managed successfully ...

INTRODUCTION Along with the introduction of screening mammography, measurements of breast tumours detected during examination have signifi cantly decreased and about half of breast cancers in surgical practice are nonpalpable in examination [1]. Patients with such an early stage of breast cancer are qualifi ed for breast conserving therapy (BCT), which allows the breast to be preserved. However...
