Apocrine carcinoma is a very rare form of breast malignancy with an incidence of <1% of female invasive breast carcinoma. We report a case of apocrine carcinoma in a 42-year female with marked adenosis showing apocrine metaplasia and discuss the criteria to diagnose apocrine carcinoma with the emerging concept of androgen receptor positivity with its implication on treatment and management of the patient.

A case of oat-cell carcinoma arising in the pericardium of a 51-year-old woman is described. The patient had multiple nodes; the largest was 2 × 1 cm. Two years later the patient presented with a tumor on her lower gum; this measured 2 mm and had similar characteristics to the previous one. The immunohistochemical study showed strong positivity for neuron-specific enolase. From review of the literature, it may be concluded that this is the first report of oat-cell carcinoma occurring in the pericardium.
