Objectives: Three commonly used techniques for localization of nonpalpable breast cancer are radioactive seed localization (RSL), wire-guided localization (WGL) and radioguided occult lesion localization (ROLL). In this study, we analysed the surgical margins of these three techniques.
Methods: Women diagnosed with nonpalpable breast cancer undergoing breast-conserving surgery with one of the above-mentioned techniques were retrospectively included.
A female patient presented with a painful swelling in the umbilicus. Ultrasonography demonstrated a hypodense nodule of 1.8 cm.

Nevertheless, in some cases, treatment with systemic corticosteroids or propranolol is required. No randomized controlled studies, in which both treatment options were compared, have been performed.

The purpose of this study was to determine the percentage of patients referred with a diagnosis of IH that were misdiagnosed, including that of those who in fact had malignant lesions and to assess how the misdiagnosis was reached.
Methods: From April 2003 through December 2009, all records of children, referred with a diagnosis of IH, were studied to determine the definitive diagnosis.
