Bilateral breast cancer and the influence of body mass index in clinicopathological features and overall survival
CONCLUSIONS: Our results reveal the same receptor expression between contralateral tumours. Also, most tumours share the same histological type. When stratified by BMI, we observed a tendency for overweight women to have improved overall survival.PMID:38108338 | DOI:10.3233/BD-230014 (Source: Breast Disease)

Breast carcinoma presenting with upper limb lymphedema - A rare case
This report describes the case of a 50-year-old lady with right breast carcinoma who presented with right upper limb lymphedema. Surprisingly, she did not have any bulky axillary lymphadenopathy that could have accounted for lymphedema of the upper limb, but a suspicious breast mass was present on clinical examination. Diagnosis of breast cancer on clinical examination can be challenging in such patients due to breast edema and careful imaging of the breast and axilla with appropriate imaging tools (mammogram, ultrasound, MRI, PET mammography) should be resorted to before excluding malignancy. Lymphoscintigraphy confirmed ...

Endoscopy-assisted breast conservation surgery (E-BCS) vs conventional breast conservation surgery (C-BCS) technique for the management of early breast cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: Our study suggests that E-BCS offers a shorter incision length and better cosmetic outcome compared with C-BCS in the treatment of early breast cancer. However, E-BCS requires a longer operation time and has greater drainage volume. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings.PMID:38108340 | DOI:10.3233/BD-230023 (Source: Breast Disease)

Breast amyloidosis associated with Sj ögren syndrome: A diagnostic pitfall in breast pathology
CONCLUSION: Although rare, an awareness of the clinicopathologic characteristics of this easily overlooked entity is of great importance for breast surgeons.PMID:38108337 | DOI:10.3233/BD-230006 (Source: Breast Disease)
