Cutaneous pseudolymphoma (PL) refers to a reactive T or B- cell proliferative disorder in reaction to some known or unknown stimuli. The most common site of involvement of pseudolymphoma is the face followed by the scalp. Because of its similarity with true lymphoma in both clinical and pathological aspects, differentiating between them is often difficult but fundamental due to their completely...

This paper presents a study on classification of breast lesions using artificial neural network. Thirteen morphological features have been extracted from breast lesion cells and used as the neural network inputs for the classification. Multilayered Perceptron Network trained using recursive prediction error algorithm was used to perform the classification task. Unlike the previous studies that ...

In the twentieth century, a whole teaching of mastopathy was formed. However, over time, accumulated data have questioned existence as separate nosological form, because term “fibrocystic disease” while mastalgia is most common symptom does not correspond to holistic concept disease. This “disease” can be diagnosed in any woman and more or less successfully treated. United States, this obsolete...

Iodine deficiency is generally recognized as the most commonly preventable cause of mental retardation and the most common cause of endocrinopathy (goiter and primary hypothyroidism). Iodine deficiency becomes particularly critical in pregnancy due to the consequences for neurological damage during fetal development as well as during lactation. The safety of therapeutic doses of iodine above th...

Adenolipoma of the breast is a rare tumor. Two cases are described here and the literature is reviewed. Case 1 was a 52-year-old woman who had a 3-cm-long elastic hard tumor in the left breast. Case 2 was a 40-year-old woman who had a 3-cm-long elastic soft tumor in the left breast. In each case, mammography revealed well demarcated soft tissue density. Ultrasonography demonstrated well defined...

Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease. There is a high degree of diversity between and within tumors as well as among cancer-bearing individuals, and all of these factors together determine the risk of disease progression and therapeutic resistance. Advances in technologies such as whole-genome sequencing and functional viability screens now allow us to analyze tumors at unprecedented depths...
