A 38- year-old man in good general health and normal intellectualfunctioning referred to the dermatologic clinic with numerouspruritic reticulate pigmentations on his neck, chest and upperback since 10 years ago. We noticed similar lesions on his axillae,groin and infra mammary area with no family background.

Background: Feline mammary hyperplasia (FMH) is a benign disease that commonly affects young females, once it caused by the exaggerated stimulation of endogenous or exogenous progestogen. FMH leads to acute edema and inflammation glands frequently evolve ulcerations, secondary infections, systemic clinical signs. Even though rare in male cats, progesterone therapy an unknown source hormone can ...

To examine the behavior of tumor cells in tumors developing directly from mammary tissue in transgenic models, we have evaluated transgenic mice expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP). Using the mouse mammary virus promoter (MMTV) to directly drive expression of GFP, we find low levels of fluorescence in the mammary and salivary glands of transgenic animals. Using MMTV-Cre or WAP-Cre in com...

Mammary tumours in 214 dogs were evaluated at the Department of Surgery and Orthopaedics, Veterinary and Pharmaceutical University Brno, between 1997 and 2001. Lesions of the mammary gland were classified as dysplasia/hyperplasia, b...

Abstract Background Metastatic involvement of the breast is relatively rare and has an incidence 0.5–3%. Lesions that metastasize to may produce changes look similar those primary cancer on mammography, but they are more likely be multiple frequently bilateral. Case presentation A 38-year-old female complaining progressive proptosis with bilateral palpable lumps. She was referred imaging unit e...

BACKGROUND Paget's disease is a rare skin disorder occurring in the breast (mammary) or in the groin, genital, peri-anal and axillary regions (extra-mammary). Typical treatment involves surgical excision, which in the case of extra-mammary Paget's disease, can lead to significant morbidity. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) which uses a topical or intravenous photosensitizing agent that is activated b...

The effects of flax meal (FM) on the activity of antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and catalase (CAT)) in the blood, mammary tissue and ruminal fluid, and oxidative stress indicators (thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances(TBARS) and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl-scavenging activity) in the milk, plasma and ruminal fluid of dairy cows were determined...

The aim of the study was to evaluate the usefulness of elastography in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant tumours of the mammary gland in dogs. The study was performed to 12 female dogs of different breeds aged 5-12 years in which tumoral lesions of the mammary gland were found in the clinical examination. In all the animals elastographic examination of the lesions was carried o...
