Breast pathology, during adolescence, shows a typology like that in adults but with a completely different incidence. We observed 472 patients aged between 12 and 19 years in Senology Center of II Clinic of Obstetrics and Gynecology from 1984 to 1992. The most frequent pathologies diagnosed were: fibroadenomas (in the variety simple, phylloides, giant), cysts (simple and apocrine cysts); lower incidence for congenital anomalies, mastitis, mammary secretion caused by ductal hyperplasia or intraductal papilloma, lipoma. No incidence of cancer was detected. Echography was the principal diagnostic method for those patients who showed, at the clinical examination, a lump or palpable abnormalities. Mammography in this period does not affect the diagnoses and can be potentially harmful due to the exposure at X rays on such a sensible tissue.

Rhinitis is a common comorbidity in patients with asthma. However, the frequency of underreported rhinitis in asthma is not known. In this study, we aimed to assess the characteristics of patients with self-reported asthma and no self-reported rhinitis, as well as the extent of the underreporting of rhinitis.

Pineal gland lesions pose a significant surgical challenge due to the deep-seated nature of the pineal gland, as well as the limited field of view, and the complex vascular anatomy. The mainstay of surgical treatment, when necessary, is always histopathological clarity and gross total resection (GTR). We evaluate the surgical outcomes for pineal gland lesions, shedding light on functional outcomes, histological findings, and surgical complications.

This study aims to demonstrate the effect of gamma knife radiosurgery (GKRS) on symptoms, hemorrhage rates, and histopathological changes in patients with cavernous malformations (CMs), regardless of whether the symptomatic lesions are hemorrhagic. This single-center retrospective study evaluated symptomatic patients with single CMs treated with GKRS between 2016 and 2023. The patients' demographic data, presenting symptoms, GKRS radiation dose, complications developed during follow-up (hemorrhage, radiotoxicity), the rate of symptom improvement, and histopathological changes of surgically removed CMs were recorded.
