Breast cancer in young women: a rising threat: A 5-year follow-up comparative study.

Introduction: Breast cancer in young women is usually considered as breast cancer occurring in women younger than 40 years and is the most frequent cancer-related cause of death in these patients. In the past few years, there seems to be an increasing trend in the prevalence of breast cancer in young women, which, associated with poorer prognosis, more aggressive histologic features, and more frequent recurrence rates, makes it a rising threat to young women. This study aimed to evaluate the biological behavior of breast cancer in young women in our institution.

Primary breast lymphoma: A mimic of inflammatory breast cancer.

Introduction: Primary breast lymphoma (PBL) is a rare disease accounting for 0.04-0.5% of all breast malignancies.

Metastatic melanoma: An unusual cause of gastrointestinal bleeding and intussusception-A case report.

Introduction: Malignant melanoma is responsible for 1-3% of all malignancies being the gastrointestinal tract one of the most common metastatic locations.

Presentation Of Case: We present the case of a 71-year old male with previous history of cutaneous melanoma. Seven years later, while being studied due to suspected small bowel bleeding, he developed small bowel obstruction after being submitted to double balloon enteroscopy.

presenting as irreducible epigastric hernia.

Abdominal wall hernia is a common and usually straightforward pathology presenting in surgery clinics. On occasion, the surgeon is faced with unexpected findings requiring difficult intraoperative decision. We present a case of incidentally found during surgery for epigastric hernia.

Heterotopic mesenteric and abdominal wall ossification - Two case reports in one institution.

Introduction: Heterotopic ossification occurs when bone develops in tissues which usually don't undergo ossification. Heterotopic mesenteric ossification, also known as intra-abdominal myositis ossificans, is a rare and benign form of ossification, usually related with previous abdominal surgery or trauma.

Presentation Of Cases: We report two cases of heterotopic ossification both after multiple abdominal surgeries, with intraoperative findings of mesenteric and abdominal wall ossification.
