Metastatic carcinoma infiltrating the breast from extramammary malignancies is an infrequent occurrence. Extramammary carcinomas that may be metastatic to the breast include gastrointestinal cancers, ovarian cancer, and lung cancer, among others. These metastatic lesions often pose a diagnostic challenge, resembling primary breast cancer in both clinical and radiographic presentations. The incidence of esophageal cancer metastasizing to the breast is low. Esophageal cancer more commonly spreads to locoregional lymph nodes, lungs, liver, and bone...

BACKGROUND: Breast cancer remains a significant health concern among women globally. Despite advancements in awareness and diagnostic techniques, it persists as a leading cause of death, with profound impacts on affected individuals' quality of life. Primary and secondary prevention, including regular screenings and practices like breast self-examination (BSE), are pivotal in ensuring early diagnosis. The national health system (NHS) in Italy offers screenings for women aged 50-69 every two years, managed by the local health authority...

BACKGROUND: Numb cheek syndrome, a rare corollary of numb chin syndrome, is due to infra-orbital neuropathy. It can occur in association with an underlying malignancy, which can cause neuropathy by direct malignant nerve infiltration or via a paraneoplastic mechanism. Although numb cheek syndrome has been reported in association with a variety of cancers, it has previously not been reported in association with breast cancer. We report a case of left breast cancer presenting with left numb cheek syndrome...

Automated classification of breast cancer subtypes from digital pathology images has been an extremely challenging task due to the complicated spatial patterns of cells in the tissue micro-environment. While newly proposed graph transformers are able to capture more long-range dependencies to enhance accuracy, they largely ignore the topological connectivity between graph nodes, which is nevertheless critical to extract more representative features to address this difficult task. In this paper, we propose a novel connectivity-aware graph transformer (CGT) for phenotyping the topology connectivity of the tissue graph constructed from digital pathology images for breast cancer classification...

For decades, patent blue dye (PBV) has been utilized for sentinel lymph node biopsy and lymphatic mapping in breast cancer and melanoma staging and treatment. Fistulography and intraoperative display of lymphatic vessels for lymphaticovenular anastomosis (LVA) are frequent applications. Although its anaphylactic potential is well described, PBV is used routinely. We present the case of a 71-year-old female patient, who underwent LVA for the treatment of chronic secondary lymphedema and experienced a postoperative anaphylactic reaction including a blue-colored drug-induced maculopapular exanthema after PBV administration...

Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is a rare yet aggressive form of invasive ductal carcinoma, with a poor prognosis and decreased 5-year survival rates. Characteristic findings for IBC include rapid onset of breast edema, peau d'orange appearance, and involvement of the breast skin. Additionally, diagnosis is confirmed with a skin punch biopsy. With such nonspecific features, IBC can be mistaken for benign etiologies, causing delays in diagnosis and treatment. This patient is a 44-year-old woman presenting with left breast swelling while concurrently breastfeeding...

BACKGROUND: As an oncologic emergency related to abnormalities in calcium metabolism, hypercalcemia associated with paraneoplastic syndrome and bone metastases is well known. Meanwhile, the incidence of hypocalcemia is low, except in cases associated with bone-modifying agents used for bone metastases. Hypocalcemia induced by bone-modifying agents typically occurs early after the initial administration, and its incidence can be significantly reduced by preventive administration of calcium and vitamin D3 supplements...

The chemotherapeutic agent tegafur, a prodrug that prolongs the half-life of fluorouracil (5-FU), exerts antitumor effects against various cancers. Since tegafur is metabolized to 5-FU by CYP2A6 in the liver, the expression of CYP2A6 determines the effect of tegafur. Here, we report that the expression rhythm of Cyp2a5, a homolog of human CYP2A6, in female mice causes dosing time-dependent differences in tegafur metabolism. In the livers of female mice, CYP2A5 expression showed a circadian rhythm, peaking during the dark period...
