Abstract

Vascular lesions of the breast comprise a heterogeneous group that includes a variety of benign, atypical, and malignant lesions. These are a diagnostic challenge given variable clinical, radiological and pathological presentation, especially when they are small and asymptomatic. We present 2 cases of these rare lesions of the breast which were occult to mammographics and ultrasound studies. Both the lesions were detected only on magnetic resonance imaging, most helpful in the diagnosis of these rare tumor. Histopathological examinations following the magnetic resonance guided biopsies, were initially interpreted as negative for breast cancer in both cases. These turned out to be respectively a low grade angiosarcoma and a benign vascular lesion after a new histopathological examination following a larger magnetic resonance guided biopsies performed in light of the radiology-pathology discordance. Although rare, it is important to consider vascular tumours of the breast; radiologists need to be aware such tumors may present non-specific imaging features., Competing Interests: The authors declare that they have no conflict of interest., (© 2022 The Authors.

2. Coexistence of primary central nervous system lymphoma and primary breast lymphoma: Clinical presentation, imaging features, and treatment management.

Abstract

The presence of synchronous dual hematological diseases is an uncommon finding. We report an unusual case of coexistence of primary central nervous system lymphoma and primary breast lymphoma without systemic involvement in an immunocompetent patient. To our knowledge a similar case has not yet been reported in the literature. We especially focus on presenting the imaging features, the associated clinical findings and treatment management of each entity, with the aim of raising awareness on these two rare types of lymphomas and the possibility of their coexistence., (© 2022 The Authors.

Abstract

Background: The study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and reliability of ultrasound-guided vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (US-VABB) for sampling of microcalcifications indicative of cancer when stereotactic vacuum-assisted breast biopsy cannot be performed because of reasons such as thin breast tissue, insufficient thickness at compression, and microcalcification situated close to the chest wall or in breast tissue of the axillary tail., Patients and Methods: The study population was selected from among 187 patients with microcalcifications detected on mammogram. The findings were classified using the American College of Radiology criteria as Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System 3, 4, or 5. 30 Thirty were not eligible for stereotactic guidance because of reasons such as small breast size, compression thickness <2 cm, or microcalcification located in the axillary tails or close to chest wall. In 23 patients microcalcifications were detected at ultrasound, and US-VABB was performed. The other 7 patients underwent surgical biopsy. In the 23 patients who underwent US-VABB, multiple core samples were taken after a specimen mammography to ensure that microcalcifications were included., Results: Biopsy was successful in all cases of US-VABB. The procedure was well tolerated, and there were no complications., Conclusion: US-VABB should be preferred over diagnostic surgical biopsy when microcalcifications are sonographically visible and stereotactic guidance is contraindicated. The procedure appears to be reliable and accurate, with added advantages such as low cost and absence of radiation exposure., (Copyright © 2018. Published by Elsevier Inc.)

Abstract

Perforation and migration of pacemaker electrodes into the pleural cavity is a rare event. We report the clinical course and surgical treatment of massive acute hemothorax resulting from intercostal artery laceration, caused by a retained active-fixation pacing lead implanted 10 months earlier., (Copyright © 2013 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons.
