Introduction And Importance: Occult breast cancer (OBC) is defined as a clinically recognizable metastatic carcinoma arising from an undetectable primary breast tumor.
Presentation Of Case: We report in this work 2 cases of occult breast cancer treated at the Mohammed VI center of onco-gynecology of the CHU of Casablanca.
Clinical Discussion: Significant advances in breast imaging have occurred since its description, decreasing its incidence.
Introduction And Importance: Squamous cell carcinoma associated with primary neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) of the breast, also known as composite tumor, is an extremely rare malignancy with a very poor prognosis.
Presentation Of Case: We report the case of a patient treated in our department for primary neuroendocrine carcinoma of the breast associated with squamous cell carcinoma by radical surgery.
Clinical Discussion: Diagnosis is based on histology and, above all, immunohistochemistry.
Parietal metastasis is a very rare secondary location of papillary thyroid carcinoma. It associated with poor prognosis. We report a case of a 61-year-old woman with parietal metastasis from papillary thyroid carcinoma.

- The study investigates the relationship between hypermethylation of the BRCA1/2 promoter genes and breast cancer in women, focusing on how this relates to age and tumor stage.
- It analyzes DNA from 50 biopsies of Moroccan women with breast cancer, revealing that 62% of samples showed BRCA1 hypermethylation, while BRCA2 was negative.
- The findings suggest that BRCA1 methylation is more prevalent in women over 47 years old, indicating that age could play a significant role in the progression of breast cancer.
