This study focuses upon 38 patients found to have unsuspected carcinomas or lobular neoplasia in fibroadenomatous tumors. Combining the pathologic and clinical features of these patients with those of 56 comparable instances reported upon in the literature, it becomes apparent that the biologic and clinical behavior of lobular neoplasia, intraductal carcinomas and invasive carcinomas is essentially the same regardless of whether the lesions arise in or outside a fibroadenoma. In addition, they are often a part of a multifocal malignant condition in the ipsilateral or contralateral breast. These patients, therefore, should be treated as if the carcinomas or lobular neoplasia arose in the usual setting.

Non-invasive lobular neoplasia (LN) encompasses atypical lobular hyperplasia (ALH), classic lobular carcinoma in situ (CLCIS), florid lobular carcinoma in situ (FLCIS), and pleomorphic lobular carcinoma in situ (PLCIS). Lobular neoplasia is a neoplastic epithelial proliferation of the terminal duct lobular unit. A defining feature is discohesion due to the loss of E-cadherin, a protein that facilitates cell-to-cell adhesion.

Pancreatic panniculitis (PP) and arthritis may be extrapancreatic manifestations of pancreatic disease. The triad of pancreatic disease, panniculitis and polyarthritis, described in the literature as the PPP syndrome, is sometimes observed in patients with acute or chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer or neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). We present a 60-year-old man with polyarthritis and clinically aggressive PP of the limbs.

Introduction: Androgen-secreting tumors are rare ovarian or adrenal neoplasms associated with virilization symptoms such as hirsutism, deepening of the voice, and menstrual irregularities. These tumors present a diagnostic challenge due to overlapping features with conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). Accurate diagnosis requires a combination of biochemical assays, imaging, and histopathological examination.

Background According to current guidelines, staging of patients with locally advanced breast cancer and local-regional recurrent breast cancer is preferably performed with PET using 2-fluorine 18-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose (F-FDG). However, F-FDG PET might underperform in low-grade estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer. Alternatively, 16α-F-fluoro-17β-estradiol (F-FES) has emerged as a powerful tracer for in vivo visualization of ER-positive lesions.

Objectives: To investigate the surgical impact of preoperative breast MRI in patients diagnosed with invasive lobular breast cancer (ILC) in a prospective observational study.

Methods: The prospective MIPA observational study database was queried for patients aged 18-80 with newly diagnosed unilateral ILC at needle biopsy referred for primary surgery. Patients who underwent preoperative MRI (MRI group) were matched (1:1) with those who did not (noMRI group) according to nine confounding covariates.
