Alcohol and breast cancer tumor subtypes in a Spanish Cohort.

Although alcohol intake is an established risk factor for overall breast cancer, few studies have looked at the relationship between alcohol use and breast cancer risk by the four major subtypes of breast cancer and very few data exist in the alcohol-breast cancer relationship in Spanish women. A population-based case-control study was conducted in Galicia, Spain. A total of 1766 women diagnosed with invasive breast cancer between 1997 and 2014 and 833 controls participated in the study.

Vaginal tubulovillous adenoma: a clinicopathologic and molecular study with review of the literature.

Vaginal villous or tubulovillous adenomas (TVA) are uncommon tumors histologically similar to their intestinal counterparts. After reviewing the literature, we report the eighth case of TVA, which presented as a polypoid tumor in the vagina, at suburethral level, in a 19-yr-old woman with Arnold-Chiari type II malformation and a myelomeningocele at birth. The tumor consisted of long villi lined by columnar cells with brush borders, pseudostratified nuclei, and foci of high-grade atypia.

Family history and breast cancer hormone receptor status in a Spanish cohort.

Background: Breast cancer is a heterogenous disease that impacts racial/ethnic groups differently. Differences in genetic composition, lifestyles, reproductive factors, or environmental exposures may contribute to the differential presentation of breast cancer among Hispanic women.

Materials And Methods: A population-based study was conducted in the city of Santiago de Compostela, Spain.

Signet-ring cell carcinoma presenting in the uterine cervix: report of a primary and 2 metastatic cases.

Signet-ring cell carcinoma presenting in the uterine cervix is an uncommon neoplasm. It is usually a metastasis from a primary gastric tumor; only rarely, cervical involvement is the first manifestation of the disease. Primary signet-ring carcinoma of the cervix is extremely unusual, and it is always necessary to rule out a metastatic neoplasm.

Vaginal involvement in a woman with Darier's disease: a case report.

Background: Involvement of the female genital tract by Darier's disease, an unusual genodermatosis, is uncommon, and the manifestation of the disease in a cervicovaginal smear is exceptionally rare.

Case: A 39-year-old woman had an abnormal Pap smear caused by involvement of the female genital tract by Darier's disease. Cytologic examination showed features consistent with a low grade squamous intraepithelial lesion, but during a biopsy it was found to be vaginal involvement by Darier's disease.
