Mammary duct ectasia in childhood is a rare disease. It appears typically as a periareolar mammary mass and/or nipple discharge. Even though in the adult age is an acquired disease, its occurrence in children suggests it may constitute a development mammary gland anomaly. Sonography is highly useful in the diagnosis. Differential diagnosis must include other nipple discharge and mammary mass causes as the juvenile fibroadenoma or malignant pathology. This usually is a self-limited process, so that a conservative approach is recommended, even though occasionally surgical treatment is required. We report the case of a 13 years old girl with nipple discharge who finally was diagnosed bilateral mammary duct ectasia.

Department of Radiology, Shenzhen People's Hospital, Shenzhen, China.
Background: The classification of Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) category 4A lesions in mammography is complicated by subjective interpretations and unclear criteria, which can lead to potential misclassifications and unnecessary biopsies. Thus, more accurate assessment methods need to be developed. This study aimed to improve the classification prediction of BI-RADS 4A positive lesions in mammography by combining deep learning (DL) technology with relevant clinical factors.

Article Synopsis
- A 73-year-old woman experienced bloody discharge and skin thickening in her right breast, prompting concerns for Paget disease.
- A skin punch biopsy revealed high-grade infiltrating carcinoma with squamous features, ruling out other types like metaplastic carcinoma due to her medical history.
- A lumpectomy confirmed invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the nipple, linked to Bowen disease, emphasizing the need for awareness of rare diagnoses in patients with prior breast cancer.

Department of Pathology, Jiaxing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Jiaxing, China.
Giant cell tumor of soft tissue (GCT-ST) is an extremely rare phenomenon in the breast. Herein, a case involving a 75-year-old female with a painless lump and bloody discharge from the nipple of her left breast is reported. A diagnosis of malignant tumor was arrived at by observing the location of the tumor, interior echo, margins, vascular distribution, hardness, and microvascular density on preoperative multimodal ultrasonography.
