Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia (PASH) of the breast: A case series.

Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia (PASH) is a benign mesenchymal proliferative lesion of the breast. In 2005, only 109 cases have been reported since its initial description in 1986 by Vuitch et al. when it presented in one patient as a palpable breast mass.

B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the breast in Waldenström's macroglobulinemia: a case report.

Background: Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) of the breast is a rare disease and can occur amongst patients affected by Waldenström's Macroglobulinemia (WM). WM is an indolent B-cell lymphoproliferative disorder with an overall incidence of about 1/100,000 in Europe. Breast imaging is not specific to breast lymphoma that often mimics benign lesions.

Preoperative localisation of nonpalpable breast lesions using magnetic markers in a tertiary cancer centre.

Background: We retrospectively evaluated safety and performance of magnetic seed localisation of nonpalpable breast lesions.

Methods: We reviewed records of patients with nonpalpable breast lesions preoperative localised by placing magnetic Magseed® marker between February 2019 and December 2020. During surgery, Sentimag® magnetic probe was used to localise the marker and guide surgery.

Radiomic and Artificial Intelligence Analysis with Textural Metrics Extracted by Contrast-Enhanced Mammography and Dynamic Contrast Magnetic Resonance Imaging to Detect Breast Malignant Lesions.

:The purpose of this study was to discriminate between benign and malignant breast lesions through several classifiers using, as predictors, radiomic metrics extracted from CEM and DCE-MRI images. In order to optimize the analysis, balancing and feature selection procedures were performed. : Fifty-four patients with 79 histo-pathologically proven breast lesions (48 malignant lesions and 31 benign lesions) underwent both CEM and DCE-MRI.

Debulking mastectomy with electrochemotherapy: a case report of no surgery approach to recurrent breast cancer.

Electrochemotherapy has been shown to be safe, effective and non-invasive loco-regional treatment for chest wall breast cancer recurrence. Electrochemotherapy is a palliative treatment offered to patients with cutaneous metastases from breast cancer, which are not eligible for resection and/or systemic therapy is ineffective or contraindicated. Electrochemotherapy combines the administration of bleomycin with electroporation of tumor cell, intraoperatively.

Blood Oxygenation Level Dependent Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Dynamic Contrast Enhanced MRI, and Diffusion Weighted MRI for Benign and Malignant Breast Cancer Discrimination: A Preliminary Experience.

Purpose: To combine blood oxygenation level dependent magnetic resonance imaging (BOLD-MRI), dynamic contrast enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI), and diffusion weighted MRI (DW-MRI) in differentiation of benign and malignant breast lesions.

Methods: Thirty-seven breast lesions (11 benign and 21 malignant lesions) pathologically proven were included in this retrospective preliminary study. Pharmaco-kinetic parameters including , , , and were extracted by DCE-MRI; BOLD parameters were estimated by basal signal S0 and the relaxation rate R*; and diffusion and perfusion parameters were derived by DW-MRI (pseudo-diffusion coefficient (), perfusion fraction (), and tissue diffusivity ()).

Blood oxygenation level dependent magnetic resonance imaging and diffusion weighted MRI imaging for benign and malignant breast cancer discrimination.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to assess Blood oxygenation level dependent Magnetic Resonance Imaging (BOLD-MRI) and Diffusion Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DW-MRI) in the differentiation of benign and malignant breast lesions.

Methods: Fifty-nine breast lesions (26 benign and 33 malignant lesions) pathologically proven in 59 patients were included in this retrospective study. As BOLD parameters were estimated basal signal S and the relaxation rate R2*, diffusion and perfusion parameters were derived by DWI (pseudo-diffusion coefficient (Dp), perfusion fraction (fp) and tissue diffusivity (Dt)).

Digital breast tomosynthesis and contrast-enhanced dual-energy digital mammography alone and in combination compared to 2D digital synthetized mammography and MR imaging in breast cancer detection and classification.

To compare diagnostic performance of contrast-enhanced dual-energy digital mammography (CEDM) and digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) alone and in combination compared to 2D digital mammography (MX) and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) in women with breast lesions. We enrolled 100 consecutive patients with breast lesions (BIRADS 3-5 at imaging or clinically suspicious). CEDM, DBT, and DCE-MRI 2D were acquired.

Angiosarcoma of the breast, the unknown-a review of the current literature.

Angiosarcoma of the breast is one of the rarest malignancies. Breast angiosarcoma can be classified into primary when arising de novo and secondary to chronic lymphoedema or breast irradiation. Molecular pathways involved in angiosarcoma development have not been described clearly, yet some gene point mutations and protein altered expression levels have been detected.

Intracystic papillary breast carcinoma with DCIS in a man: a case report.

Here we report a case of 50-mm lump within the left breast in a 56-year-old man. The patient underwent left total mastectomy and sentinel node biopsy. The pathology report showed low-grade intracystic papillary breast carcinoma surrounded by ductal carcinoma in situ.

Triple negative breast cancer: looking for the missing link between biology and treatments.

The so called "Triple Negative Breast Cancer" (TNBC) represents approximately 15-20% of breast cancers. This acronym simply means that the tumour does not express oestrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) and does not exhibit amplification of the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) gene. Despite this unambiguous definition, TNBCs are an heterogeneous group of tumours with just one common clinical feature: a distinctly aggressive nature with higher rates of relapse and shorter overall survival in the metastatic setting compared with other subtypes of breast cancer.

The dynamic optical breast imaging in the preoperative workflow of women with suspicious or malignant breast lesions: development of a new comprehensive score.

Purpose. To determine the diagnostic accuracy of DOBIComfortScan in patients with Breast Imaging Reporting suspect breast lesions (BI-RADS) 4-5 breast lesions. Materials and Methods.

From 3-port to new laparoendoscopic single-site (LESS) cholecystectomy: a critical analysis of available evidence.

In recent years, laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) has gained greater interest and diffusion for the treatment of gallstones. This critical review aims to evaluate the feasibility and safety of LESS cholecystectomy versus the 3-port technique (TPT) through a comparative analysis of 5 parameters: mean operative time, intraoperative and postoperative complications, conversion to open, conversion to the 4-trocar technique and postoperative hospital stay. The authors performed a systematic search of the medical literature through a search of PubMed and Ovid EMBASE.
