Adenomyoepithelioma of the breast is an unusual tumor characterized by biphasic proliferation of both epithelial and myoepithelial cells. Although most of these tumors have a benign course, a small number of malignant lesions have been reported in the literature. Adenomyoepithelioma is also characterized by propensity for local recurrence. Therefore , the sufficiency of initial surgery plays very important role in the management of these tumors. Due to the potential to malignant transformation and high risk of local recurrence, totally excision with wide margins should be performed in surgical treatment of these tumors. In this paper, three cases of adenomyoepithelioma of the breast with different clinical presentations and radiological findings were reported. J Clin Exp Invest 2016; 7 (1): 91-93
Hydatid cyst is a parasitic infection caused by Echinococcus
granulosus, and is endemic in some countries and regions
where the common hosts (cattle, cow, sheep) are frequently
raised, such as Middle East, Australia, South America,
and Turkey (1). The human is an intermediate host of this
parasite, and is usually contaminated through infected
foods. Liver and lungs are the most common sites of hydatid
cyst whereas soft tissues are rare localizations for this
disease, even in endemic areas. Among those, abdominal
wall is an extremely unusual site for primary hydatid cyst
(1-3). Herein, a rare and interesting case of hydatid cyst
located in the anterior abdominal wall was presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
