INTRODUCTION Breast lymphoma, either as a manifestation of primary extranodal disease or as secondary involvement, is a rare malignancy, and its diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment have not been clearly defined. On the other hand, Vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (VABB) is a minimally invasive technique with ever-growing use for the diagnosis of mammographically detected, non-palpable breast lesio...

Imaging methods are fundamental for the management of patients with breast cancer, especially in the early diagnosis of non-palpable breast lesions. Suspicious lesions identified in imaging studies of the breast should undergo percutaneous biopsy to confirm the diagnosis and plan appropriate treatment. Several procedures can be used, such as fine needle aspiration (FNA) and core needle or vaccu...

Background: Palpable breast lumps are quite common which can be benign or malignant. Carcinoma breast is the second most common cancer after cervical cancer. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a minimally invasive, rapid, reliable and cost-effective outdoor procedure to provide effective diagnosis and way to further planning of treatment without need for biopsy. The objective of the stud...

An angiolipoma is an unusual, benign variant of a lipoma with a hemangiomatous component. The tumor can occur anywhere in the body, but an angiolipoma of the breast is rare.(1,2) The mammographic findings of an angiolipoma are variable, and the lesion can sometimes mimic a carcinoma.(2) However, in most cases, sonography shows the tumor to be a homogeneously well-circumscribed hyperechoic lesio...

Fibrous mastopathy, also known as diabetic mastopathy and lymphocytic mastopathy, may mimic breast cancer at the physical examination, mammography, and ultrasound. We report a case of a woman who presented a non-tender mass clinically suggestive of breast carcinoma; however, the fine-needle aspiration cytology indicated atypia and the core needle biopsy revealed lymphocytic mastopathy. The magn...

PURPOSE Margin status is one of the most important predictors of local recurrence after breast conserving surgery (BCS). Intraoperative ultrasound guidance (IOUS) has the potential to improve surgical accuracy for breast cancer. The purpose of the present meta-analysis was to determine the efficacy of IOUS in breast cancer surgery and to compare the margin status to that of the more traditional...

Background: Breast fibromatosis is a very rare, locally infiltrative lesion, without metastatic potential that arises from either stromal fibroblasts or myofibroblasts of the breast pectoral fascia, extending into breast, with its cytological and histological features only rarely being described. Case Presentation: A 58-year-old woman, no past medical/surgical family history, was diagnosed on r...
