Cutaneous Metastasis in Breast Cancer: A Case Report.

BACKGROUND Breast cancer (BC) is the most common malignant disease in females and one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Its treatment plan includes a long-term follow-up and close surveillance, as recurrence is a well-acknowledged concern. BC can recur either locally or as a metastasis, and skin metastasis is a common complication in advanced breast cancer patients.

Anatomical features of the mastoid segment of the facial canal.

Background: Considering the tortuous course of the facial canal that houses the facial nerve, the stylomastoid artery and the homonymous vein, its morphological features are of great clinical significance in otologic, maxillofacial, oncologic, reconstructive and plastic surgery of the head and neck. The aim of this paper was to determine the individual specific features of the mastoid segment of facial canal and of the stylomastoid foramen.

Material And Methods: The study was carried out on 82 temporal bones (41 right/41 left), at the Department of anatomy and clinical anatomy of Nicolae Testemitanu State University of Medicine and Pharmacy of the Republic of Moldova.

A Rare Presentation of Cutaneous Scalp Metastasis From a Malignant Phyllodes Tumor of the Breast: A Case Report and Literature Review.

This report presents a unique case of a 56-year-old female diagnosed with a malignant phyllodes tumor (PT). Following a modified radical mastectomy, the patient exhibited metastasis to the lungs, bones, and, uncommonly, the scalp. Despite treatment interventions, including chemotherapy and radiotherapy, the patient's condition progressed, underscoring the aggressive nature of malignant PTs.

Current practices of plastic surgeons at King Abdulaziz University Hospital in requesting breast imaging studies prior to non-oncological breast surgeries.

Background: In the context of the high incidence of breast cancer and the high frequency of breast cosmetic surgeries, malignant and/or premalignant lesions are frequently detected incidentally in postoperative histopathology specimens. The current literature does not provide clear practice guidelines for the use of preoperative imaging prior to non-oncological breast surgeries.

Objectives: In this study, we aimed to determine the current practices of plastic surgeons at King Abdulaziz University Hospital (KAUH) and their use of preoperative breast imaging before non-oncological breast surgeries.

Foreign bodies in the breast are an uncommon finding and could be detected incidentally during imaging or be symptomatic and present as a painful mass. Sometimes they cause diagnostic dilemmas as they mimic malignancies.
