Published: December 2023

Vacuum-assisted excision biopsy (VAEB) provides a safe alternative to surgical excision for selected (low-risk) B3 breast lesions. We report a case of imaging findings that mimicked malignancy in a patient one year post-VAEB. Awareness of this entity is important to prevent misdiagnosis and unnecessary surgical excision.

Mutational signatures define immune and Wnt-associated subtypes of ampullary carcinoma.

Gut

December 2024

Biotech Research and Innovation Center (BRIC), Department of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark

Background And Objective: Ampullary carcinoma (AMPAC) taxonomy is based on morphology and immunohistochemistry. This classification lacks prognostic reliability and unique genetic associations. We applied an approach of integrative genomics characterising patients with AMPAC exploring molecular subtypes that may guide personalised treatments.

Cutaneous cylindromas are rare, slow-growing adnexal tumors commonly found on the capillitium or face. When located on the capillitium, they can cluster together, forming a headgear-like structure that gives the characteristic "turban" appearance. Brooke-Spiegler syndrome, an autosomal dominant condition, is typically benign, though malignant transformation can occur.

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare, low-grade cutaneous sarcoma typically found on the proximal extremities and the trunk, characterized by infiltrative growth and low risk of metastasis. High rates of local recurrence or relatively large tumor sizes can significantly complicate therapeutic management, particularly when 1) surgical intervention is not adequately performed and /or 2 access to newer medications is limited or their high cost imposes a financial burden on patients. We present the case of a 63-year-old male with a histologically confirmed dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, measuring 6 cm in diameter, located on the right dorsal region, accompanied by several confluent multifocal nodules situated infralaterally to the primary formation.

Effect of needle size on outcomes of vacuum-assisted excision of breast lesions. A randomized controlled trial.

Eur J Radiol

December 2024

Department of Radiology, Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden; Department of Oncology and Pathology, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden.

Background: Utilizing a larger needle-size instead of a smaller one in vacuum-assisted excision of breast lesions might enhance the effectiveness of the method. We conducted a clinical trial to investigate the effects of needle size 7G compared to 10G regarding excision completeness and procedural efficiency.

Materials And Methods: In this prospective, single-blinded, randomized clinical trial, the patients were enrolled between November 2019 and August 2022.
