Fibroadenoma is commonest breast lump constituting about 50% of all breast pathologies in young females. About 2-4% of the fibroadenomas more than 5 cm in size or 500 gm in weight and are called giant fibroadenomas [1]. The axillary ectopic breast tissue is common in women as 95% of women are having it [2]. The clinical presentation is during lactation when this tissue gets enlarged commonly ca...

Ectopic breast tissue can occur anywhere along the incompletely regressed mammary ridge. Among the various types of breast choristoma, ectopic breast tissue, which has only glandular tissue without a nipple or areola, is most commonly detected in axillary areas. However, ectopic breast cancer is often not detected until significant clinical symptoms have been revealed, or diagnosis is delayed. ...

We previously developed and validated a vortexing-sonication technique for detection of biofilm bacteria on the surface of explanted prosthetic joints. Herein, we evaluated this technique for diagnosis of infected breast tissue expanders and used it to assess colonization of breast tissue expanders. From April 2008 to December 2011, we studied 328 breast tissue expanders at Mayo Clinic, Rochest...

BACKGROUND The epidermal growth factor receptor HER2 is overexpressed or amplified in 25%-30% of patients with breast cancer. The mechanism behind HER2 amplification is unknown, but may be a patho-physiological phenomenon caused by continuous stimulation and activation of the HER1-4 system. We have mapped the protein concentrations of HER1-4 in breast cancer tissue, autologous reference tissue,...

BACKGROUND Evidence from animal models shows that tissue stiffness increases the invasion and progression of cancers, including mammary cancer. We here use measurements of the volume and the projected area of the compressed breast during mammography to derive estimates of breast tissue stiffness and examine the relationship of stiffness to risk of breast cancer. METHODS Mammograms were used t...

Telocyte (TC) as a special stromal cell exists in mammary gland and might play an important role in the balance of epithelium-stroma of mammary gland. Considering that different types of breast interstitial cells influence the development and progression of breast cancer, TCs may have its distinct role in this process. We here studied the roles of TCs in the self-assembly of reconstituted breas...

male breast cancer is a rare disease with an increasing trend. due to limited information especially about the genetic basis of the disease in iran and the lower age of its onset, the disease requires more attention. the aim of this study was to screen the male patients with breast cancer for brca mutations as well as tissue markers of estrogen receptor (er), progesterone receptor (pr), human e...

Breast cancer accounts for 24.5% of all cases and 14% deaths in women globally. Breastfeeding is thought to lower the risk breast mainly through two mechanisms; differentiation tissue a decrease total number ovulatory cycles throughout woman's lifetime. The objective this systematic review investigate published literature that studied breastfeeding its duration as possible protective factor...

AbstractMammary tissue, skeletal muscle, and spleen are less frequently affected by mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB).The most common age for breast TB is between 50 and 70. On this article, we are reporting a 72-year-old womanwho presented with chronic cough, lobar consolidation in right middle lobe (RML) on the CXR, and a massin her right breast revealed on the physical examination. Biopsy from...
