Giant Broad Ligament Leiomyoma: A Diagnostic and Surgical Challenge.

Broad ligament leiomyomas are rare tumors present outside the uterine body. The incidence of giant broad ligament leiomyomas (weighing over 3 kg) remains relatively rare. In this report, we present the case of a peri-menopausal woman who came in with a large abdominal mass.

Ductal Carcinoma In Situ in Borderline Phyllodes Tumor: A Diagnostic and Treatment Dilemma.

The co-existence of breast carcinoma in the form of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) in a case of Phyllodes tumor (PT) is extremely rare. We present a case of a pre-menopausal lady with a large breast lump diagnosed as benign PT on her initial biopsy. Wide local excision and breast conservation with round block oncoplasty were done.

Axillary Reverse Mapping in Patients Undergoing Axillary Lymph Node Dissection: A Single Institution Experience From India.

Introduction Axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) remains the gold standard for clinically node-positive and sentinel node biopsy (SLNB) positive breast cancer patients, but it is associated with the debilitating morbidity of lymphedema. Recently, a new technique of axillary reverse mapping (ARM) has been described which helps in differentiating arm lymphatics from breast lymphatics. Aim To evaluate the applicability of the ARM technique with blue dye and the incidence of metastases in ARM nodes in the Indian population.

Use of Lateral Oncoplasty for Multiquadrant Giant Fibroadenoma: A Novel Approach.

Giant fibroadenomas are uncommon benign lesions, defined as fibroadenomas of >5 cm in size and/or weighing more than 500 g. They can distort the shape of the breast and cause asymmetry, so they should be excised. Here, we report two cases of giant fibroadenoma, where wide local excision and reconstruction with lateral oncoplasty were done.

A nomogram for predicting the risk of neck node metastasis in oral cavity carcinoma using acoustic radiation force impulse imaging (ARFI).

Background: The study was conducted to assess the accuracy power of Acoustic radiation force impulse imaging (ARFI) and generate a nomogram using ultrasound and ARFI to predict malignant cervical lymph nodes in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

Material And Methods: 374 cervical lymph nodes from 67 patients were evaluated. The B-mode ultrasonography and the elastography findings were compared with the final histopathological diagnosis.

Breast metastasis from esophagogastric junction cancer: a case report.

Metastasis to breast from nonmammary malignancy is only about 1.3-2.7%.
