1/46. adenofibroma of the endometrium after tamoxifen therapy for breast cancer: MR findings.We report a case of adenofibroma of the endometrium in a 69-year-old woman. This patient was receiving tamoxifen therapy after surgery for breast cancer. magnetic resonance imaging showed an intracavitary mass containing multiple cystic components. We suggest adenofibroma as a possible diagnosis in cases of uterine masses with multiple cystic components and no clinical evidence of malignancy.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = breast (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/46. Two cases of adenolipoma of the breast.Adenolipoma of the breast is a rare tumor. Two cases are described here and the literature is reviewed. Case 1 was a 52-year-old woman who had a 3-cm-long elastic hard tumor in the left breast. Case 2 was a 40-year-old woman who had a 3-cm-long elastic soft tumor in the left breast. In each case, mammography revealed well demarcated soft tissue density. ultrasonography demonstrated well defined tumors composed of echogenic and sonolucent areas. These tumors were easily enucleated at surgery. Histologically, the tumors consisted of mammary ducts, fibrous stroma and adipose tissue, findings which are characteristic of mammary adenolipoma. An adenolipoma may still be misdiagnosed as a fibroadenoma or a fibrocystic disease. Characteristic findings of mammography and ultrasonography are emphasized.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.4keywords = breast (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/46. Fine needle aspiration of breast carcinoma in a fibroadenoma.A case of concurrent carcinoma of the breast with a fibroadenoma in a 59-year-old woman is described. The diagnosis was made on fine needle aspiration cytology. Despite the rarity of such a lesion, it is felt that a cytological diagnosis of this lesion from a fine needle aspirate specimen is possible.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = breast (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/46. A rare case of fibroadenoma in a tubular adenoma of the breast.We report herein a case of a 31 year old housewife who underwent an excisional biopsy for a well-circumscribed lump in her breast. The lump contained 2 histological patterns, namely, fibroadenoma and tubular adenoma. These patterns had no transitional zone, were distinct and changed abruptly. This case was histologically diagnosed as "a fibroadenoma in tubular adenoma of the breast, benign", with no other such case ever having been reported in japan. The histological findings of this case, convinced us that tubular adenoma is closely related to fibroadenoma.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.2keywords = breast (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/46. Carcinoma of the breast in a fibroadenoma: diagnosis by fine-needle aspiration cytology.A case of carcinoma of the breast concurrent with a fibroadenoma in a 49-yr-old female is described in which the diagnosis was made on fine-needle aspiration cytology. Reports of such an occurrence are few, and to our knowledge none has previously documented the cytologic findings in detail.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = breast (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/46. Lobular carcinoma in situ within a fibroadenoma.The entity of lobular carcinoma in situ within a fibroadenoma is being increasingly recognized. Clinical examination, mammography, and fine-needle aspiration are the cornerstones in managing breast masses. A patient is presented with three lumps in the left breast. Although the workup was completely negative, pathological examination revealed lobular carcinoma in situ within one of the fibroadenomas.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.4keywords = breast (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/46. medulloblastoma metastasizing to a breast fibroadenoma: a case report.The extracranial spread of primary intercranial tumours is infrequent, occurring most commonly with medulloblastoma. The spread of one malignant tumour to a second tumour, benign or malignant, is also very rare. This case appears to be unique, in that a primary malignant cerebral tumour metastasized to a benign extracranial tumour.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.8keywords = breast (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/46. Pleomorphic adenoma (benign mixed tumor) of the breast. An immunohistochemical, flow cytometric, and ultrastructural study and review of the literature.Pleomorphic adenoma (or benign mixed tumor) of the breast is a rare benign neoplasm that might be misinterpreted both clinically and pathologically as a malignant tumor. The authors present an additional case of this unusual lesion studied by immunohistochemistry, electron microscopy, and flow cytometry. A 77-year-old white woman presented with a 2-cm, nontender, mobile, calcified, right subareolar mass suggestive of a fibroadenoma. Microscopically, the tumor resembled a pleomorphic adenoma occurring in salivary glands. Positive immunostaining for S-100 protein, cytokeratin, and muscle-specific actin, as well as the ultrastructural presence of intermediate filaments with dense bodies and intercellular junctions, supported the predominant myoepithelial cell differentiation within the tumor, whereas the epithelial cell component stained only with cytokeratin and contained formed lumina with surface microvilli. The dna pattern was diploid. The patient is alive and well 14 months after surgery. The authors' findings confirm that pleomorphic adenoma of the breast is a benign neoplasm in which myoepithelial cell proliferation plays a major role in tumorigenesis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.2keywords = breast (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/46. The problem of carcinoma developing in a fibroadenoma: recent experience at Memorial Hospital.Fourteen new cases of unsuspected carcinoma developing in fibroadenomas are reported with a detailed analysis of their preoperative findings; histopathology, the results of varying surgical procedures and a three month to twenty-six year follow-up. The majority of lesions were lobular carcinoma in situ (71%) and 29% of all cases were found to have carcinoma of the contralateral breast. Our study suggests that for invasive carcinoma within a fibroadenoma complete mastectomy is warranted in virtually all instances while noninvasive disease treated by complete mastectomy is essentially curative. Contralateral breast biopsy at the time of diagnosis with a careful life-time follow-up are appropriate because of the high risk of contralateral invasive coarcinoma. There seemed to be no evidence of striking or unusual epithelial hyperplasia in the breast tissue adjacent to fibroadenomas that contained carcinoma suggesting that the carcinomas are not intrinsically different from those not related to fibroadenomas.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.6keywords = breast (Clic here for more details about this article) |
