A 70-year-old woman underwent a partial mastectomy with preoperative diagnosis of phyllodes tumor. Histopathological examination of the resected specimen revealed noninvasive ductal carcinoma of up to 20 mm in the phyllodes tumor. We note the possibility of a situation in which a phyllodes tumor is accompanied by cancer, and detailed pathological examination is necessary.

Effects of RARα ligand binding domain mutations on breast fibroepithelial tumor function and signaling.

Point mutations in the ligand binding domain of retinoic acid receptor alpha (RARα) are linked to breast fibroepithelial tumor development, but their role in solid tumorigenesis is unclear. In this study, we assessed the functional effects of known RARα mutations on retinoic acid signaling using biochemical and cellular assays. All tested mutants exhibited reduced transcriptional activity compared to wild-type RARα and showed a dominant negative effect, a feature associated with developmental defects and tumor formation.

Breast sarcomas are a diverse group of malignant neoplasms originating from the mammary stroma. They are uncommon tumors, often occurring as a component of other tumors. Among malignant breast mesenchymal tumors, pure sarcomas lacking epithelial components are even rarer, comprising only 0.

However, diagnostic challenges with core biopsy specimens often result in suboptimal surgical margins. This study aims to elucidate the correlation between margin status and PT recurrence, thereby informing surgical decision-making and enhancing patient outcomes.

Article Synopsis
- Primary breast cancer in children and adolescents is rare and has distinct characteristics compared to adult cases, necessitating a study to predict survival rates in this population.
- The study analyzed 115 pediatric patients, primarily focusing on demographic data and tumor characteristics, finding significant predictors of overall survival (OS) to be the SEER and M stages of cancer.
- A nomogram was developed to aid in predicting OS, addressing a gap in research by providing comprehensive insights into pediatric breast cancer prognosis.
Proliferative Myositis of the Breast in a Patient with Contralateral Phyllodes Tumor: A Unique Pseudomalignant Lesion.

Department of Pathology, Bakirkoy Dr. Sadi Konuk Education and Research Hospital, 34147 İstanbul, Türkiye.
Article Synopsis
- A case of proliferative myositis (PM) of the breast is presented, marking only the second documented instance in English literature.
- A 49-year-old woman developed a rapidly growing mass in her right breast after surgeries for other tumors, leading to initial concerns about malignancy; extensive immunohistochemical testing ultimately diagnosed PM.
- The findings highlight the critical need to identify pseudomalignant conditions in order to prevent unnecessary aggressive treatments.
