Focal angiomatosis of the breast with MRI and histologic features
نویسندگان
چکیده
Angiomatosis of the breast is an extremely rare, benign vascular lesion. This is a diagnostic challenge, given the limited number of cases reported in the literature. Additionally, due to similar features of the more common malignant vascular tumor, angiosarcoma familiarity with angiomatosis in the differential diagnosis is important. We present a case of angiomatosis of the breast in a 28-year-old female. The lesion presented as an incidental enhancing mass on computed tomography scan initially and subsequent mammogram and ultrasound studies did not show a correlate. Next, magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated an enhancing correlate for which magnetic resonance imaging biopsy and subsequent excisional biopsy demonstrated angiomatosis of the breast.

Imaging features of estrogen-negative breast cancers: a correlation study with human epidermal growth factor type II overexpression
Background: Estrogen-negative breast cancers have different clinical course, prognostic features and treatment response in comparison to estrogen receptor-positive (ER-positive) breast cancers. Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) oncoprotein has found to have a pivotal role in natural cell growth and cell division and is suggested to be directly related to tumor invasiveness in brea...

Background: We designed an algorithmic model based on the logistic regression analysis and a non-algorithmic model based on the Artificial Neural Network (ANN). Materials and methods: The ability of these models was compared together in clinical application to differentiate malignant from benign breast tumors in a study group of 161 patients' records. Each patient’s record consisted of 6 subjec...

Disseminated angiomatosis, also referred to as cystic angiomatosis, is a generalized disease that involves bones and soft tissue. It is characterized by multifocal hemangiomatous lesions of the bones with possible visceral organ involvement. The clinical manifestations differ according to the site and the extension of disorder. Here we describe a case of generalized angiomatosis occurring in a ...
