Unlabelled: Conventional benign tumor excision leaves scars on the skin surface of the breast, which is unacceptable for young patients. The feasibility and clinical results of endoscopic resection of benign breast tumors through a single axillary incision via an inflatable method were evaluated.
Methods: Clinicopathological data from 62 patients who underwent this procedure from June 2022 to July 2023 were retrospectively collected. The surgical success rate, number of tumors excised, operative time, intraoperative conditions, postoperative complications, and clinical outcomes were analyzed.
Results: A total of 144 benign tumors were resected, and the surgical success rate was 100% (62/62). The time required to resect tumors located in the inner quadrant with larger diameters was shorter than the time to resect tumors located in the outer quadrant with smaller tumors. Sixty-two patients experienced reduced intraoperative bleeding and did not experience skin burns, incision infections, or poor healing. However, all patients experienced varying degrees of subcutaneous emphysema during the postoperative period. Fourteen patients experienced minor local effusions, and 3 patients experienced mild upper limb dysfunction, which resolved within one month. During the six-month follow-up period, there were no cases of tumor recurrence or new tumors. The ABNSW score was above 14 points, and patient satisfaction was high.
Conclusion: Endoscopic resection of benign breast tumors through a single incision in the axilla via the inflatable method could quickly remove lesions larger than 3.0 cm. This method also results in hidden scars and good cosmetic effects on the shape of the breast. This is a new and effective treatment for benign breast tumors.

Breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has the highest sensitivity for breast cancer detection compared to other breast imaging modalities such as mammography and ultrasound. As a functional modality, it captures the increased angiogenic activity of breast cancer through gadolinium-based contrast enhancement. Normal breast tissue also enhances, albeit in distinct patterns termed background parenchymal enhancement (BPE).

Background: A significant proportion of false positive recalls of mammography-screened women is due to benign breast cysts and simple fibroadenomas. These lesions appear mammographically as smooth-shaped dense masses and require the recalling of women for a breast ultrasound to obtain complementary imaging information. They can be identified safely by ultrasound with no need for further assessment or treatment.

Microscopic imaging aids disease diagnosis by describing quantitative cell morphology and tissue size. However, the high spatial resolution of these images poses significant challenges for manual quantitative evaluation. This project proposes using computer-aided analysis methods to address these challenges, enabling rapid and precise clinical diagnosis, course analysis, and prognostic prediction.

Objective: To investigate integrating an artificial intelligence (AI) system into diagnostic breast ultrasound (US) for improved performance.
Materials And Methods: Seventy suspicious breast mass lesions (53 malignant and 17 benign) from seventy women who underwent diagnostic breast US complemented with shear wave elastography, US-guided core needle biopsy and verified histopathology were enrolled. Two radiologists, one with 15 years of experience and the other with one year of experience, evaluated the images for breast imaging-reporting and data system (BI-RADS) scoring.

Breast desmoid tumour is a rare type of benign breast disease that presents like malignancy. Current guidelines are based on limited evidence derived from case reports and small case series and recommend resection with microscopically-negative margin (R0). There is a high risk of recurrence despite negative surgical margins.
