Prevalence of Imaging Detected Silent Male Breast Cancer in Autopsy Specimens: Study of the Disease Held by Image-Guided Biopsies.

Introduction: Regarding male breast cancer, a rare disease comprising ∼1% of breast cancers, data are generally scant. The present study aimed to quantify the imaging detected breast cancer in male gender corpses, determining in this way the prevalence of silent breast cancer in male gender.

Methodology: The population target has been male corpses without clinical expression of breast cancer.

Prevalence of Imaging-Detected Silent Female Breast Cancer in Autopsy Specimens: A Study Using Image-Guided Biopsies.

Background This study was conducted to evaluate the prevalence of imaging-detected silent breast cancer in females, with the hypothesis that the incidence of imaging-detected silent breast cancer in females is greater than the true disease incidence. The main purpose of this study is the attempt to prove whether breast imaging can identify silent breast cancers that apparently are common in serial histology analysis. Methodology A series of 217 consecutive medicolegal autopsies on fresh Portuguese cadavers were performed from July 2016 to December 2019 at the National Institute of Legal Medicine and Forensic Science, Lisbon, Portugal.

Gastric granular cell tumour, a rare entity.

Granular cell tumours are rare neoplasms that may occur anywhere in the body. The most common locations are the oral cavity, skin and subcutaneous tissue, with only 8% of these tumours occurring at a gastrointestinal site. In the specific case of gastric granular cell tumours, only a few cases have been published until today.

Prevalence of silent breast cancer in autopsy specimens, as studied by the disease being held by image-guided biopsies: The pilot study and literature review.

Breast cancer epidemiological patterns vary in European countries, which present different incidence rates. Data have suggested that the reduction in breast cancer mortality is not only due to the early detection of the disease, but is, in almost equal part, due to screening and to the advances that have been made in molecular medicine and the development of novel therapies. The aim of the present study is to quantify the actual number of cases of breast cancer present in both of the sexes by calculating the prevalence of silent breast cancer in corpses.

Air everywhere: colon perforation after colonoscopy.

Colonoscopy is being widely used since the 1980s and is the leading diagnostic procedure for colorectal cancer. For many colorectal diseases, it is also a therapeutic tool. Like many other procedures in Medicine, it has its drawbacks and complications, some of which if not readily diagnosed can represent a serious risk to the patient's health and well-being.

What is inside the hernia sac?

Most ovarian inguinal hernias occur in children and are frequently associated with congenital genitalia defects. The authors present the case of a multiparous 89-year-old woman, without any genitalia defect, who was brought to the emergency department with an irreducible inguinal hernia. The patient was proposed for emergency surgery during which we encountered an ovary and a fallopian tube inside the hernial sac.
