Purpose: To evaluate the ability of computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system (S-Detect) to identify malignancy in ultrasound (US) -detected BI-RADS 3 breast lesions.
Materials And Methods: 148 patients with 148 breast lesions categorized as BI-RADS 3 were included in the study between January 2021 and September 2022. The malignancy rate, accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and area under the curve (AUC) were calculated.
Results: In this study, 143 breast lesions were found to be benign, and 5 breast lesions were malignant (malignancy rate, 3.4 %, 95 % confidence interval (CI): 0.5-6.3). The malignancy rate rose significantly to 18.2 % (4/22, 95 % CI: 2.1-34.3) in the high-risk group with a "possibly malignant" CAD result (p = 0.017). With a "possibly benign" CAD result, the malignancy rate decreased to 0.8 % (1/126, 95 % CI: 0-2.2) in the low-risk group (p = 0.297). The AUC, sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, PPV, and NPV of the CAD system in BI-RADS 3 breast lesions were 0.837 (95 % CI: 77.7-89.6), 80.0 % (95 % CI: 73.6-86.4), 87.4 % (95 % CI: 82.0-92.7), 87.2 % (95 % CI: 81.8-92.6), 18.2 % (95 % CI: 2.1-34.3) and 99.2 % (95 % CI: 97.8-100.0), respectively.
Conclusions: CAD system (S-Detect) enables radiologists to distinguish a high-risk group and a low-risk group among US-detected BI-RADS 3 breast lesions, so that patients in the low-risk group can receive follow-up without anxiety, while those in the high-risk group with a significantly increased malignancy rate should actively receive biopsy to avoid delayed diagnosis of breast cancer.

The etiology of diffuse gingival enlargement is multifactorial, and the definitive diagnosis may be challenging. To highlight the nuances of the differential diagnosis, we present two cases of generalized gingival overgrowth and discuss the diagnostic dilemmas. In the first case, an 82-year-old male with a medical history of hypertension and prostatitis had a chief complaint of symptomatic oral lesions of a 20-day duration, accompanied by fever and loss of appetite.

Endosalpingiosis occurs in relatively young women. The incidence of endosalpingiosis exceeds that of other diseases affecting female tissues. As endosalpingiosis is a benign tumor, several women with endosalpingiosis are asymptomatic.

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.

Objective: analysis of molecular genetic phenotypes, their proliferative activity, degree of spread and differentiation of tumors in breast cancer patients affected by the accident at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant.
Materials And Methods: 96 breast cancer patients who were exposed to ionizing radiation as a result of the accident at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant were examined. Clinical, radiological, instrumental, morphological,immunohistochemical research methods were used.

Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis investigated the added value of DWI compared with the structured assessment of BI-RADS criteria using the Kaiser score.
Materials And Methods: Articles published in English until May 2024 were included. Two independent reviewers extracted data on the characteristics of studies evaluating the added value of DWI to distinguish benign from malignant breast lesions compared with structured assessment of the BI-RADS criteria.
