juvenile fibroadenoma is an uncommon histologic variant of fibroadenoma that frequently shows a remarkable and rapid growth. the development of a carcinoma within a fibroadenoma, either in situ or invasive, is a rare condition. we encountered a 36-year-old woman with a palpable mass in the right breast. the radiologic findings were indicative of a fibroadenoma in the breast. sonographic guided ...

the focus of this study was to determine if early detection of mutant p53 accumulation may be an early indicator of tumor aggressiveness and transformation to invasive breast cancer. for this purpose, the p53 content of 100 human breast biopsies classified as ductal carcinoma (dcis), was evaluated by immunohistochemical method. all specimens were microscopically classified into histologic types...

background and objective: since the advent of mammography screening, ductal carcinoma in situ (dcis) of the breast has been diagnosed increasingly. in contrast to the situation in invasive breast carcinoma, there are only a few reports on androgen receptor (ar) status in dcis and few reports on estrogen (er) and progesterone (pr) receptors. materials and methods: ar expression was examined in 5...

Background & Aims: This study was performed to investigate possible relationships between the manifestation of stromal cells (fibroblasts and/or myofibroblasts) by focusing on expression of their matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) and possible angiogenesis based on CD31 and CD34 antigen expression during the various steps of hyperplastic changes to precancerousstate and invasive breast cancer. M...

Background and Objective: Since the advent of mammography screening, ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the breast has been diagnosed increasingly. In contrast to the situation in invasive breast carcinoma, there are only a few reports on androgen receptor (AR) status in DCIS and few reports on estrogen ...

Background: The nuclear grading of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) affects its clinical risk. aim this study was to investigate the possibility predicting DCIS, by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based radiomics features. And develop a nomogram combining features and MRI semantic explore potential role radiomic assessment DCIS grading.

HER2/neu is a well-established prognostic and predictive factor for invasive breast cancer. However, the role of HER2/neu in ductal breast carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is debated and recent data have suggested that it is mainly linked to in situ local recurrence. Although molecular data suggest that atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) and duct carcinoma in situ (DCIS) are related lesions, albeit with...

conclusion non-mass-like lesions, lesions with focal or segmental distribution, with a “plateau” enhancement curve type were the most frequent findings of dcis lesions on mri. background adequate diagnosis of ductal carcinoma in situ (dcis) could lead to efficacious treatment. due to the fact that dcis lesions can progress to invasive carcinomas and that the sensitivity of the standard examinat...
