Does size matter? Comparison study between MRI, gross, and microscopic tumor sizes in breast cancer in lumpectomy specimens.

Size of breast cancer is essential in staging cancer to determine type and extent of patient management. This study was conducted to assess accuracy in estimating tumor size by MRI and gross using microscopy as gold standard. A retrospective study was done on 33 patients, 30-75 years, who underwent MRI of breasts with subsequent lumpectomy, 2002-2006, for invasive breast cancer.

Sternal cleft, Morgagni hernia, and ectopic liver: a unique chest wall anomaly.

Sternal clefts are rare chest wall anomalies which may occur in isolation or in association with cardiac, pericardial, and diaphragmatic defects. We present the first report of a unique chest wall anomaly consisting of a triad of sternal cleft, anterior diaphragmatic hernia, and ectopic, exophytic liver tissue. A partial diagnosis was made on prenatal ultrasound imaging and computed tomography imaging of the baby's chest, but the full extent of the anomaly was only identified at operation.
