Columnar cell lesions and pseudoangiomatous hyperplasia like stroma: is there an epithelial-stromal interaction?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The significance of association between cancer and its microenvironment has been increasingly recognized. It has been shown in animal models that interaction between neoplastic epithelial cells and adjacent stroma can modulate tumor behavior. Carcinoma associated stromal cells can transform normal epithelial cells into neoplastic cells. In breast, columnar cell lesions are non-obligate precursors of low grade ductal carcinoma in situ. Columnar cell lesions can be seen intimately associated with PASH-like-stroma, a lesion we termed as CCPLS. Our aim is to investigate epithelial-stromal interactions in CCPLS and compare ...

Clinical Implications of Subcategorizing BI-RADS 4 Breast Lesions associated with Microcalcification: A Radiology–Pathology Correlation StudyEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract: Currently radiologists have the option of subcategorizing BI-RADS 4 breast lesions into 4A (low suspicion for malignancy), 4B (intermediate suspicion of malignancy), and 4C (moderate concern, but not classic for malignancy). To determine the clinical significance of BI-RADS 4 subcategories and the common pathologic changes associated with these mammographic lesions, a retrospective review of 239 consecutive stereotactic-needle core biopsies (SNCB) for microcalcifications was performed. All 239 SNCBs were BI-RADS 4 lesions, and of these, 191 were subcategorized to 4A, 4B or 4C. Ninety-four of 191 (49%) were 4A, 73...

In conclusion, elevated C-41/42 is likely the result of elevated AAT synthesis, and the activity of specific MMPs present within the tumor. As other C-terminal fragments of AAT are reported to function as tumor-derived suppressors to the host immune-system, elevated C-41/42 may also be predictive of a poor outcome.

Spontaneous infarction of pleomorphic adenoma: Report of a case simulating malignancy on fine-needle cytology sampleEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Ischemic or hemorrhagic infarction has been described as an uncommon but possible complication of fine-needle cytology sampling in numerous organs, more frequently the thyroid, the salivary glands, the breast, the lymph node, and the kidney. In these situations, infarction appears to be directly related to the vascular disturbances caused by needle sampling, though fine this latter might be. One case of a spontaneous infarction of a parotid pleomorphic adenoma in a 46-year-old lady is here described in which the cytopathologic findings, which were related to ischemic infarction, preceded fine-needle cytology sampling and m...

In fact, without vitamin D, chances are that a vaccine won't generate much of an immune response in the first place.That's because vitamin D is essential for healthy, active immune function. That's just one of the reasons smart people are choosing vitamin D instead of the swine flu vaccine. Here are nineteen more reasons:#1 Vitamin D activates your immune system to respond to any viral exposure (not just one virus).#2 Vitamin D naturally belongs in your body.#3 Vitamin D has been functioning as medicine in the human bo...

Apocrine ductal carcinoma in situ involving a sclerosing lesion with adenosis: report of a case.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Apocrine metaplasia is a ubiquitous component of the mammary fibrocystic change spectrum. Although mostly associated with cysts, apocrine metaplasia can also present as a proliferative lesion, rarely with cytologic atypism. Apocrine atypia is characterized by 3-fold nuclear enlargement, multiple nucleoli, and hyperchromatism and generally arises in florid adenosis or radial sclerosing lesions. Dramatic apocrine atypia may be very difficult to distinguish from apocrine ductal carcinoma in situ. The latter is distinguished from apocrine atypia by greater extent of the lesion (>0.4 cm) and the presence of greater nucle...

Conclusions: Age (over 50-years) at the time of biopsy is an independent predictive factor for breast cancer at surgical excision in patients with diagnosed ADH at CNB.

CONCLUSION: Because of high rate of breast cancer underestimation, surgical excision is necessary after the diagnosis of AEH at core needle biopsy. Surgical oncology rules and collaboration with radiologist are required for this surgery. A second operation was not required due to involved margins by AEH (except with pleiomorphic lobular neoplasia) because local control of breast cancer seems to be unchanged. Besides, hormonal replacement therapy for patient with AEH is not recommended because of lack of studies about this subject.

Treatment options are observation or surgical removal. Recently, removal by ultrasound-guided technique has been reported. Alternatively, the tumor may be ablated within the breast by cold (cryotherapy) or by heat (laser, radiofrequency, focused ultrasound and microwave).

Endobronchial metastasis from oral fibrosarcoma 13 years after treatment of primary tumor.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We described a 56-year-old woman with EBM of oral fibrosarcoma with local recurrence 13 years after treatment of primary tumor. We conclude that the possibility of central airway metastasis should be kept in mind if patients with a past history of malignancy present with symptoms consistent with bronchial tumors, even if there are 13 years interval. Of several mechanisms EBM, we assume direct aspiration and implantation of tumor cells to bronchus from oral cancer. PMID: 19787473 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Tuberkuloz ve Toraks)
