BACKGROUND In 1998 the National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project (NSABP) demonstrated that tamoxifen treatment reduced the incidence of both invasive and noninvasive breast cancer in women at high risk for the disease. We examined the effect of tamoxifen treatment on the incidence of benign breast disease and the number of breast biopsies in the same group of women. METHODS We exami...

Background: Sclerosing polycystic adenosis (SPA) is a rare, recently described, tumorous condition of the major or minor salivary glands that on gross and microscopic evaluation mimics an invasive carcinoma. The histology quite similar to seen in fibrocystic disease, sclerosing tumors breast. It also resembles more diffuse bilaterally occurring dysgenetic disease (PDD) parotid gland. To best ou...

Nerve invasion by glandular epithelial cells in a lesion is usually regarded as invasive carcinoma. However, some benign conditions in the pancreas, prostate, breast and other organs may show involvement of nerve bundles by benign epithelial cells. We report an 18-year-old female with nerve invasion in benign breast disease. The lesion in her right breast revealed fibrocystic changes with ducta...

PURPOSE Our aim was to investigate the distribution of CD34 and smooth muscle cell actin positive myofibroblasts in the stroma of the normal mammary gland, benign and malignant tumors. The observations were especially focused on the diagnostic value of the cumulative results obtained with these immunoreactions. METHODS Our study included 112 female patients with suspect breast masses obtained...
