Invasive micropapillary variant of mucinous carcinoma breast is an under-recognized category which shares features both pure and invasive carcinoma. Due to its greater propensity for nodal metastasis angioinvasion, the prognosis in this subtype worser than breast. Here we report a case 43-year-old female.

mucinous carcinoma of the breast is a well differentiated, rare histological type of invasive ductal carcinoma, seen in oldest median age (69 years). we describe a case of a 60 yr old female with large right breast mass of 10 years duration with no nodal involvement. the reasons to present this case are 1) because of its rarity. 2) despite having a large tumour size, the axillary lymph node is ...

Infiltrating ductal carcinoma is the most common form of invasive breast cancer. It accounts for 80% of all types of breast cancer. We report an unusual presentation of histologically proven case of infiltrating ductal carcinoma of breast presented clinically as a small palpable areolar dermal lesion. Well defined hypoechoic cystic lesion in areolar dermis was present on ultrasound with a negat...

Background: Prognosis and management of breast cancer are defined by different variables including histological type, grading, clinical stage, Her2+, estrogen and progesterone receptor conditions. Generally, mammography is one of the most important imaging which is done in breast cancer patients. The aim of this research was to evaluate different mammographic patterns in different breast cancer...

background &objective: breast cancer is the most common female malignancy. detection of dna of human papillomaviruses (hpvs) in breast carcinomas suggests that the virus may play a role in the pathogenesis of this disease. the aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of hpvs genotypes 6, 11, 16, 18 and 31 in paraffin-embedded tissue samples of invasive breast carcinomas. methods: thr...

BACKGROUND Metaplastic breast carcinoma is a rare aggressive malignant neoplasm. The purposes of this study are to review the pathologic features and clinical outcomes of metaplastic breast carcinoma compared to invasive ductal carcinoma and to evaluate the prognosis of metaplastic breast carcinoma. METHODS The cases of 55 patients with metaplastic breast carcinoma presenting between 1991 and...

BACKGROUND Caveolin-1 is thought to have an important impact on both signal transduction and mediation of intracellular processes. Furthermore, it has been suggested that Caveolin-1 may contribute to certain steps of carcinogenesis in various types of cancer. We examined the potential clinical relevance of Caveolin-1 in normal, benign and malignant breast tissue specimens. METHODS Using tissu...

Invasive breast cancer has a high risk of recurrence to incurable disease and needs improved prognostic and therapeutic tools. Our work combines clinical and molecular analyses to show that the transcriptional repressor HBP1 may be a new target for invasive breast cancer. Previous work indicated that HBP1 regulated proliferation and senescence and inhibited Wnt signaling. Two of these functions...
