Objective : To determine the relations between human papilloma viruses type 16 and type 18 infection and the expression of p53 protein in invasive ductal carcinoma. Methods : We detected the expression of HPV 16/18 DNA and p53 protein in invasive ductal carcinoma in 45 cases, breast fibroadenoma in 20 cases and normal breast tissues in 20 cases. HPV detection was performed on paraffin sections ...

A case of concordant oligodendroglioma in monozygotic twins is reported. The twins were also concordant for uterine leiomyoma and one twin partner had fibroadenoma and lipoma of the breast and myelofibrosis. As very few cases of concordant glioma in monozygotic twins have been published and no such cases in dizygotic twins, a genetic influence in the aetiology of glioma can only be suggested.

Fibroadenoma is the most prevalent benign breast tumor. It consists of epithelial and stromal components. In general, breast tumors are highly hormonally dependent and growth hormone by its physiology may have a possible oncogenic potential. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the expression of growth hormone and growth hormone receptor in epithelial and stromal components of fibr...

It is 10 times more common than cancerous conditions and deserves attention due its high prevalence, impact on woman’s life associated anxiety possibility some turning into conditions. divided aberrations abnormalities in development, epithelial stromal proliferations, inflamm...

Granulomatous mastitis (GM) is a chronic inflammatory breast disease. This pathology was first described by Kersler and Wolloch in 1972 [1]. It is an uncommon cause of a breast mass [2-5]. Awareness of this entity is crucial, because it can clinically and radiologically mimic breast carcinoma, fibroadenoma or fibrocystic changes [3]. It has several appearances radiologically also; biopsy still ...

To the Editor: Large palpable breast masses in young patients can be attributed incorrectly to asymmetric breast development. Significant breast pathology is often overlooked, given the low numbers of breast masses seen in adolescents and young adults. Today, ultrasound is the primary modality used for evaluating young patients with palpable lumps. If any sonographic findings are suspicious, th...
