Breast angiosarcoma is an extremely rare neoplasm usually affecting premenopausal women. Previous reports suggest that it is hormone-dependent. A case of primary breast angiosarcoma in a 16-year-old patient is presented in which the presence of estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone receptors was
The presence of receptors for estrogen, glucocorticoid and progesterone was determined in the cytosol of two breast angiosarcomas. Estrogen and glucocorticoid receptors were present in both of them. Progesterone receptors were present in one of the two tumors assayed. Occupied nuclear estrogen
A 44-year-old female with bilateral angiosarcoma of the breast with multiple skin metastases is reported. She presented with a 6x8 cm and 1x1 cm mass in her left and right breasts, respectively, and multiple skin lesions around the chest. Histologically, the excised tumor was diagnosed as
Bilateral primary angiosarcoma of breast is an extremely rare disease. Only 4 cases had been described in the literature. Hypoxia inducible factor- 1 α (HIF-1α) is a transcription factor that binds to hypoxia response elements in the promoters of target genes. Vascular endothelial growth factor
OBJECTIVE
To study the clinical and pathologic characteristics of primary angiosarcoma of breast.
METHODS
Five cases of primary angiosarcoma of breast were reviewed. Immunohistochemical study (SP method) for factor VIII-related antigen, CD31, CD34, estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor and
BACKGROUND Primary angiosarcoma of the breast is a rare neoplasm, accounting for less than 0.04% of all breast cancers. Epithelioid angiosarcoma is even more unusual with only a handful of cases reported in literature. Differentiating this from other breast malignancy is a challenge. There have been
History In 2004, this woman received a diagnosis of invasive mammillary carcinoma, tubular variant, strongly positive for estrogen and progesterone receptors. Her lesion was found at screening mammography performed at an outside institution when she was 59 years old. She underwent partial
Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia (PASH) of the breast is a rare benign proliferation of mesenchymal stromal cells with irregular slit-like formations resembling angiomatous structures. In the majority of cases this lesion is a focal microscopic finding in breast biopsies performed for benign or
In this article, we describe unilateral gynecomastia and pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia (PASH) in a case of type-1 neurofibromatosis (NF-1). It is important to distinguish PASH from fibroadenoma clinically, and from true blood capillaries and angiosarcoma histologically. In the present case,
BACKGROUND
Cutaneous metastases represent 2% of all metastases. Breast cancer is the most common cause of skin metastases. Schwartz described 8 types of cutaneous breast metastases; one uncommon form is carcinoma telangiectodes (CT), which may resemble angiosarcoma or lymphangioma circumscriptum.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a major liver tumor (~80%), besides hepatoblastomas, angiosarcomas, and cholangiocarcinomas. In this study, we used a systems biology approach to construct protein-protein interaction networks (PPINs) for early-stage and late-stage liver cancer. By comparing the
BACKGROUND
Hemangioendothelioma is a rare benign intravascular tumor that can be confused with other vascular neoplasms. We report the first case of cervical vegetant intravascular hemangioendothelioma (Masson's tumor) arising in a pregnant woman.
METHODS
A 40-year-old woman at 15 weeks' gestation
Mammary hamartomas are macroscopically well-delineated tumours composed of a variable mixture of epithelial elements, fat and fibrous tissue. Such lesions are an under-recognized entity and, as they can be visualized by mammography, may be seen more frequently with the advent of the UK National
Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia (PASH) of the breast is a benign, proliferative mesenchymal lesion with possible hormonal etiology. It typically affects women in the reproductive age group. Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia is frequently an incidental histologic finding in breast biopsies
We present an extensive immunohistochemical analysis of 7 mammary sarcomas that did not fit into any specific soft tissue sarcoma category. Histologically, they were composed of spindle cells with highly pleomorphic nuclei and abundant mitoses. Our immunohistochemical antibody panel included
