A 74-y-old woman with a 4-y history of left arm lymphedema and multiple negative mammography studies presented to her physician with a palpable subcutaneous nodule in the left upper arm. After biopsy the nodule was read pathologically as secondary breast carcinoma. We report a finding of a positive 99mTc-sestamibi scintimammography in the presence of an unremarkable mammogram. The study also re...

Occult breast cancer is a type of breast cancer without any symptoms on the breasts or any abnormalities upon radiologic examination such as mammography. In males, there are few cases of breast cancer, the rate of diagnosis of occult breast cancer is very low, and little is known about this disease. We experienced two cases of occult breast cancers manifesting as axillary lymph node metastasis ...

METHODS We collected 50 patients with early breast cancer, without clinical and ultrasonographic involvement of axillary nodes, from Novembe...

Seventy-eight symptomatic females without palpable breast lumps were subjected to bilateral four quadrant fine needle aspiration cytology. Cytological evidence of an epithelial proliferative lesion was seen in 44 of these cases. Based on the cytological evidence of proliferation, the site for open biopsy was determined. Histopathological study of the breast biopsies in these patients showed pro...

Over four years the histological features of benign breast diseases, diagnosed after biopsy of non-palpable mammographic abnormalities, were reviewed and correlated with the mammographic appearances. The histological features were compared with those from all other benign biopsy specimens taken during the same period. The incidence of sclerosing adenosis and microcalcifications was considerably...
