Here one concurrent case of a patient with both thyroid and breast cancers was discussed with a comprehensive literature review. On March 21, 2016, a 42-year-old female patient was admitted into our hospital because of right neck mass and left breast mass for 1 week during a routine health examination. On March 22, the combined procedures of complete resection of right thyroid gland plus isthmus with dissection of lymph nodes in right VI region plus left breast regional lumpectomy were performed under endotracheal anesthesia. Final diagnosis: Mammary cancer (right thyroid gland), PT1aN1aM0 (stage I); ductal breast cancer (left breast), PT1NxM0 (re-operation within two weeks). For either disease, a practicing clinician should stay on a high alert for individual and familial endocrine diseases. And breast molybdenum target imaging and type B ultrasound should be performed regularly for screening. It is always prudent to catch and treat diseases as early as possible. The conclusion is as follows.

Clinical, Analytical, and Echocardiographic Associations of Impaired Cardiorespiratory Fitness After Anthracycline Chemotherapy in Breast Cancer: EPIC Fitness Study.
Echocardiography
January 2025
Cardiology Department, Unidade Local de Saúde do Alto Ave, Guimarães, Portugal.
Purpose: This study explores the effects of anthracycline chemotherapy (AC) on breast cancer patients, focusing on changes in body composition, advanced echocardiographic parameters at rest and during exercise, and biomarkers; and subsequently assesses whether these parameters are associated with impaired cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF).
Methods: In this prospective study, we evaluated women with early-stage breast cancer undergoing AC at three visits: before AC, 1 month after, and 6 months post-AC.
Results: The study included 32 women with breast cancer, with functional disability increasing from 9.

Giant rhinoliths are uncommon, mineralized concretions that usually develop around an intranasal foreign substance in the nasal canal. These lesions frequently cause respiratory problems, foul-smelling discharge, and nasal blockage. Clinical examination, endoscopy, and radiological imaging are used to make the diagnosis, and surgical removal is the only effective therapy.

Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) is a rare form of non-Hodgkin T-cell lymphoma diagnosed in patients with a history of breast implants. Most patients develop a periprosthetic effusion at early stages of disease while less common presentations include a palpable mass, severe capsular contracture, lymphadenopathy, or cutaneous erythema. Due to the complex nature of this disease, a multidisciplinary approach is necessary for optimal management, particularly in locally advanced disease or inoperable patients.

Ureteral papillary carcinoma is a rare subtype of urothelial carcinoma, ranking fourth among cancers following prostate (or breast) cancer, lung cancer, and colorectal cancer. Although previous studies have documented bone metastases mainly in the pelvis, spine, ribs, and femur, this case report presents the first recorded instance of metastasis occurring in the acromioclavicular joint. A 62-year-old woman with a history of left flank pain and macroscopic hematuria underwent a left nephroureterectomy, which revealed ureteral papillary carcinoma.
