The results of this study contribute to a limited literature on possible contributing factors to PPMP and can inform development of resources for delivering culturally appropriate mental health care for women dealing with PPMP.
Neurofibromas are slow-growing, painless, benign nerve-sheath tumors. They occur most commonly in the dermis and subcutis and are rarely found in the breast. We report a rare case of a solitary neurofibroma of the breast in a 61-year-old asymptomatic woman.
Nasal and paranasal malignant tumours account for less than 5% of all head and neck malignancies. Epithelial malignancies overwhelmingly predominate, with squamous cell carcinomas representing the most frequent histological subtype in this location. Soft-tissue sarcomas of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses are exceedingly rare. Here, we report two cases of myxoid liposarcomas that occurred in the nasal and paranasal regions, both of which presented diagnostic challenges and could not be diagnosed definitively from intraoperative frozen sections. These cases reinforce the notion that, while they are uncommon, sarcomas in general and liposarcomas in particular should still be considered as part of the differential diagnosis in patients presenting with obstructive symptoms in the nasal and paranasal sinuses.
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.
