Ectopic breast tissue has the ability to undergo all the pathological changes of the normal breast, including breast cancer. Gastrointestinal metastasis of breast cancer is rarely observed and it is very difficult to differentiate gastric metastases from primary gastric cancer. We present a case of 52-year-old female, who suffered from abdominal pain. Physical examination showed a palpable mass...

was administered, and an incision made opposite the lower border of the pectoralis major muscle in the fold of the axilla; the skin superficial and deep fascias were divided, but no large vessel was injured. Then a director was forcibly pushed iuto the axilla for about an inch and a half, before the abscess was opened. After using a little force pus appeared ; a common dressing forceps was then...

BACKGROUND Body odor is a ubiquitous phenomenon. It is commonly attributed to sweating and noted explicitly in the axillary area. Botulinum toxin A has recently been shown to be effective for axillary hyperhidrosis. Its effect on axillary odor, however, is unknown. OBSERVATIONS Sixteen healthy volunteers were injected with botulinum toxin A (Dysport, 100 U dissolved in 0.9% sodium chloride so...

The buboes generally^ appeared between two to four days from the date of attack and in some instances the appearance of buboes and fever was simultaneous. The above statement will show the different sites of buboes in 167 cases under my treatment and the percentage of cures. In one case the bubo appeared at about the middle of left forearm anteriorly, and in another case at about the middle of ...

Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) has revolutionized the surgical management of the axilla for patients with early breast cancer. SLNB initially became standard regional therapy for women who were both clinically and pathologically node-negative. Subsequently, SLNB has been established as appropriate management in patients with very low axillary tumor burden, defined as isolated tumor cells or ...

We here report a case of primary breast lymphoma (PBL). A 44-year-old woman presented with a painless mass in the right breast. Fine needle aspiration cytology and excisional biopsy were performed. Excisional biopsy revealed low grade lymphoma, which was subsequently confirmed with histopathology and diagnosed as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). A chest computed tomography scan revealed a...

UNLABELLED The development of small-field-of-view, breast-optimized, gamma-camera designed for breast scintigraphy has resulted in improved breast lesion detection-particularly for lesions smaller than 1 cm. However, unlike with the standard gamma-camera, these images do not include the axilla within the field of view. METHODS Because of the effectiveness of breast scintigraphy using (99m)Tc-...

A 43-year-old Chinese man presented with generalized hypohidrosis, which he had had since birth, without obvious abnormalities of other skin appendages except a sparse beard and axillary hairs. The sweat test revealed localized sweating on the face, axillae and palms. Histopathologic examination showed that the sweat glands were absent in the forearm and thigh, but some eccrine and apocrine swe...

The axillary arch is a muscle slip varying from 7 to 10 cm in length and 5 to 15 mm in breadth. It occasionally arises from the edge of the latissimus dorsi, at about the middle of the posterior fold of the axilla and crosses the axilla in front of the axillary vessels and nerves to join the under-surface of the tendon of the pectoralis major, the coracobrachialis, or the fascia over the biceps...

Primary cutaneous lymphomas are defined as lymphocytic neoplasias that present themselves clinically in the skin without extracutaneous disease at diagnosis and up to 6 months after it. The authors report the case of an elderly male patient, with a three- month-history of papules in the axilla which evolved into painful ulceration. Examination found deep ulcer with irregular borders ,infiltrate...
