Breast leiomyoma is a rare benign tumor arising from the nipple and/or areola or smooth muscle metaplasia of myoepithelial myofibroblast cells. Despite its morphology, breast can create diagnostic confusion. Here, we report case single in 52-year-old woman. The patient reported lump her right for 1 year, and past 6 months, it has grown size. Physical examination showed dense mass breast, withou...

Objective: The main objective of this study was to analyze the differences in ipsilateral and contralateral internal mammary artery (IMA) and lateral thoracic artery (LTA) width in patients with malignant and benign breast tumor. Materials and Methods: A total of 104 female patients, of which 41 had benign and 63 had malignant tumors, were included in the study. The diameters of the IMA and LTA...

BACKGROUND Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor is a rare soft tissue sarcoma of ectomesenchymal origin. It is the malignant counterpart of benign soft tissue tumors like neurofibromas and schwannomas and may often follow them. Common sites include deeper soft tissues, usually in the proximity of a nerve trunk. Breast is an extremely rare location of this lesion and presentation as a breast ...

Phyllodes tumors (PTs) are a rare group of mammary fibroepithelial lesions accounting for up to 1% breast tumors. They display biologic diversity, ranging from benign malignant. PTs the mostly found in females aged 35–55 years and adolescents elderly. usually present as fast growing, painless mass. The treatment choice is complete excision with clear margins. In patients large PTs, reconstructi...

Breast cancer is a malignant tumor and the most common cancer among American women that starts from cells of the breast. The growth of the size of data exceeds the ability of humans to analyze the data. So we need some intelligent machines that can analyze datasets intelligently for us. We propose a Multi Nominal Logit Model to evaluate correlation between risk factors of breast tumor. Our ...

We studied the dynamics of two types of intracellular probe particles, ballistically injected latex spheres and endogenous granules, in tumor cell lines of different metastatic potential: breast tumor cells (MCF-7 malignant, MCF-10A benign) and pancreas adenocarcinoma (PaTu8988T malignant, PaTu8988S benign). For both tissue types and for both probes, the mean squared displacement (MSD) function...

AIM Early breast cancer detection is important for intervention and prognosis. Advances in treatment and outcome require diagnostic tools with highly positive predictive value. PURPOSE To study the potential role of quantitative MRI (qMRI) using T1/T2 ratios to differentiate benign from malignant breast lesions. METHODS A cross-sectional study of 69 women with 69 known or suspicious breast ...

INTRODUCTION Phyllodes tumors (PTs) of the breast are extremely rare accounting for less than 1% of all breast tumors globally. Case records at the Trinidad and Tobago Cancer Registry show that only 0.003% of the reported breast cancer cases between 1995 and 2009 were PTs. PRESENTATION OF THE CASE We report a 45-year-old woman who presented with swelling of the left breast. Ultrasound, mammog...

background: core needle biopsy (cnb) with histological findings is regarded as one of the most important diagnostic measures that make preoperative assessment and planning for appropriate treatment possible. the aim of this study was to determine the sensitivity and specificity of core biopsy results in our patients with benign and malignant breast lumps, especially for borderline breast lesion...

abstract objective: evaluating the usefulness of the triple test score (tts) in breast lesions. materials and methods: medical records of 100 cases were evaluated and tts was calculated based on of physical examination, mammography and fine-needle aspiration cytology findings. the diagnostic value of tts was assessed according to histopathology results. results: of the 23 lesions with score of ...
