Use of shear-wave elastography to distinguish complex and complicated fibroadenomas from simple fibroadenomas.

Purpose: Simple fibroadenomas (SFAs), complex fibroadenomas (CFAs), and cellular fibroadenomas (CeFAs) are variants of fibroadenomas. Additionally, some degenerative, hyperplastic, and metaplastic changes may occur in fibroadenomas, forming complicated fibroadenomas. Distinctive ultrasonography (US) features in variants of fibroadenomas and complicated fibroadenomas have not been reported.

Multimodality imaging and histopathology of metaplastic breast cancer.

Metaplastic breast cancer (MBC) is a rare subtype of invasive breast cancer characterized by mixed epithelial and mesenchymal differentiation. Commonly seen subtypes include squamous cell carcinoma, spindle cell carcinoma, and metaplastic carcinoma with heterologous mesenchymal differentiation. MBC tends to have a more aggressive clinical presentation, higher metastatic potential, higher rates of local recurrence, and a worse prognosis compared with invasive breast carcinoma of no special type.

Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) mastitis is a rare form of granulomatous mastitis. We aimed to evaluate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients diagnosed with TB mastitis.

Materials And Methods: A descriptive study was carried out on patients who were reported to national tuberculosis control authorities as having TB mastitis between 2003 and 2021.

Effect of Local Tranexamic Acid on the Quality of Bone Healing in a Rat Spinal Fusion Model.

Introduction: The use of the antifibrinolytic agent tranexamic acid has positive effects on bleeding control, but our knowledge is still limited regarding how fibrinolysis suppression changes the process of bone formation and the quality of bone. Because of the several side effects of systemic tranexamic acid, topical usage has been established in several procedures. This study aimed to investigate the effect of local tranexamic acid on vertebral fusion by using macroscopic, radiologic, and microscopic techniques.

Evaluation of hereditary/familial breast cancer patients with multigene targeted next generation sequencing panel and MLPA analysis in Turkey.

Breast cancer, a worldwide leading cause of cancer in women, may occur in familial cases. Germline mutations in BRCA1/2 genes are responsible for 15% of the familial cases. With the power of next generation sequencing (NGS) analysis, it is possible to analyze genes related to hereditary susceptibility to breast cancer and investigate the genetic etiology more thoroughly.

Machine Learning-Based Ultrasound Texture Analysis in Differentiation of Benign Phyllodes Tumors from Borderline-Malignant Phyllodes Tumors.

Purpose:  Phyllodes tumors (PTs) are uncommon fibroepithelial breast lesions that are classified as three different forms as benign phyllodes tumor (BPT), borderline phyllodes tumor (BoPT), and malignant phyllodes tumor (MPT). Conventional radiologic methods make only a limited contribution to exact diagnosis, and texture analysis data increase the diagnostic performance. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the contribution of texture analysis of US images (TAUI) of PTs in order to discriminate between BPTs and BoPTs-MPTs.

Three cases of immunoglobulin G4-related respiratory disease with uncommon imaging findings.

Background: Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a rare multisystemic idiopathic fibroinflammatory disorder. The rare form of IgG4-RD with isolated thorax involvement is called immunoglobulin G4-related respiratory disease (IgG4-RRD). IgG4-RRD, which is reported in a limited number of cases in the literature, can be categorized into four types on the prevalent chest computed tomography (CCT) findings: solid nodular, round-shaped ground-glass opacity, alveolar interstitial, and bronchovascular.

Management of the axilla with sentinel lymph node biopsy after neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer: A single-center study.

The neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is the gold standard initial treatment of the locally advanced breast cancer (LABC). However, the reliability of methods that used to assess response the NAC is still controversial. In this study, patients with LABC who underwent NAC were evaluated retrospectively.

Fibroadenomas: a multidisciplinary review of the variants.

Fibroadenomas are the most common benign breast lesions in women. Hormonal activities, particularly an increase in oestrogenic activity, have an important role in the aetiology of fibroadenomas. They are commonly detected incidentally.

Evaluation of Elastographic Features in Complex Fibroadenomas With Radiologic-Pathologic Correlation.

Fibroadenoma is the most common benign tumor of the breast, and complex fibroadenoma (CFA) is one of its variants. Of the fibroadenomas, 22% are CFAs, and in women with CFAs, the malignancy development is found to be higher than in women with noncomplex fibroadenomas. Although there is an increased risk of malignancy with CFAs, the imaging findings of CFAs are fundamentally similar to those of other variants of fibroadenomas.

COVID-19 S: A new proposal for diagnosis and structured reporting of COVID-19 on computed tomography imaging.

Purpose: Because of the widespread use of CT in the diagnosis of COVID 19, indeterminate presentations such as single, few or unilateral lesions amount to a considerable number. We aimed to develop a new classification and structured reporting system on CT imaging (COVID-19 S) that would facilitate the diagnosis of COVID-19 in the most accurate way.

Methods: Our retrospective cohort included 803 patients with a chest CT scan upon suspicion of COVID 19.

Texture Analysis of Ultrasound Images to Differentiate Simple Fibroadenomas From Complex Fibroadenomas and Benign Phyllodes Tumors.

Objectives: American College of Radiology Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) category 4A lesions can be distinguished from BI-RADS 3 lesions with main ultrasound (US) findings such as a well-defined contour, round/oval shape, and parallel orientation with a homogeneous echo pattern. Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System 4A solid masses might be diagnosed as simple fibroadenomas (SFAs), complex fibroadenomas (CFAs), or benign phyllodes tumors (BPTs). Complex fibroadenomas have an increased risk of invasive cancer development than SFAs, and BPTs have a risk of borderline-malignant phyllodes tumor transformation; both of them are surgically treated, whereas follow-up procedures are applied in SFAs.
