Background: Silicone or foreign materials injection is widely used for aesthetic breast augmentation and reconstructions in many countries. Once injected, it will stimulate a foreign body reaction between body tissues and silicone. This reaction can cause the formation of a granuloma known as siliconoma, which represent by the lumping at the breast. This symptom usually mimics breast cancer and sometimes be the origin of breast cancer. This paper is focused on the discussion on radiographic appearance of silicone and a case study of breast siliconoma. Case Study: A 66-year-old Chinese female with a family history of cancer presents with palpable painless lumps in her breasts. The lumps were present in both breasts without any mobility and other inflammatory processes. Mammographic examination demonstrated a dense bilateral mass towards the chest wall and asymmetrical rounded densities in both breasts. There are no breast cancer indications were reported. The pathology demonstrated a siliconoma.

Introduction With the prevalence of infertility increasing worldwide, many are seeking adoption to fulfill the need to start or expand their family. However, one of the challenges mothers face is the lack of the early maternal bond with the adopted infant, which typically starts during pregnancy, and then continues after birth, while providing care and nourishment to the infant. Breastfeeding is proven to strengthen the maternal–infant bond and provides numerous benefits to the dyad. Reports of induced lactation in non-biological mothers are uncommon, they are even more uncommon to find in women with a history of breast cancer. Main issue The induction of lactation in a Muslim adoptive mother who had a history of breast cancer. Management Pharmacologic methods, which included galactagogues Domperidone and fenugreek, in addition to non-pharmacologic methods that included breast stimulation by using a breast pump. The participant was able to provide her own milk for her adopted infant. Conclusion When provided with proper support, an adopting mother with a history of breast radiation was able to breastfeed. The participant’s need to provide her own expressed milk was met; although, she was counseled on the possibility that her milk production will most likely not be sufficient to entirely meet the infant’s needs. Determination and support definitely have a role in cases where the influence of past treatment on human milk production is not known.

AbstractMammographic breast density (MBD) is a strong independent risk factor for breast cancer (BC). We designed a matched case–case study in the EPIC Florence cohort, to evaluate possible associations between the pre-diagnostic metabolomic profile and the risk of BC in high- versus low-MBD women who developed BC during the follow-up. A case–case design with 100 low-MBD (MBD ≤ 25%) and 100 high-MDB BC cases (MBD > 50%) was performed. Matching variables included age, year and type of mammographic examination. 1H NMR metabolomic spectra were available for 87 complete case–case sets. The conditional logistic analyses showed an inverse association between serum levels of alanine, leucine, tyrosine, valine, lactic acid, pyruvic acid, triglycerides lipid main fraction and 11 VLDL lipid subfractions and high-MBD cases. Acetic acid was directly associated with high-MBD cases. In models adjusted for confounding variables, tyrosine remained inversely associated with high-MBD cases while 3 VLDL subfractions of free cholesterol emerged as directly associated with high-MBD cases. A pathway analysis showed that the “phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan pathway” emerged and persisted after applying the FDR procedure. The supervised OPLS-DA analysis revealed a slight but significant separation between high- and low-MBD cases. This case–case study suggested a possible role for pre-diagnostic levels of tyrosine in modulating the risk of BC in high- versus low-MBD women. Moreover, some differences emerged in the pre-diagnostic concentration of other metabolites as well in the metabolomic fingerprints among the two groups of patients.

Background: Breast density has been reported to be an independent predictor of breast cancer risk. Women with highest mammographic breast density may have four to six fold increased risk of developing cancer. Aim and Objective: This study is aimed at evaluating the various forms of breast densities following screening and diagnostic mammographic examination. Materials and Methods: From December 2010 and November 2012, 200 females had mammographic breast examination. Seventy-seven (77) females had routine screening mammography while 123 had diagnostic mammographic examination in the department with the General Electric (GE) Alpha-RT machine with model number MGF-101(manufactured 2010). All the subjects had to fill a mammographic form consisting of variables like age, sex, occupation, family history of breast cancer, tribe, contraception, parity, and caffeine consumption, history of surgical intervention (lumpectomy, biopsy and/or mastectomy), previous mammography and last child birth. MLO and CC views were done for the breast examination though additional views were occasionally employed. Results: Breast density decreases with increase in age of the female subjects and breast lesions are better detected following mammography on fatty or less dense breast.

Objectives: To report a case of preauricular pilomatrixoma in a 3-year-old girl.Methods: Retrospective review on a case reportResults: A three-year-old girl presented with six month history of painless right pre-auricular swelling that was gradually increasing in size. The mass was small, soft, non tender with normal overlying skin. She underwent excisional biopsy of lesion and histopathological examination showed pilomatrixoma. She was well post operatively and no recurrence after 2 years of follow up.Conclusion: Pilomatrixoma is often misdiagnosed clinically as epidermoid cyst, sebaceous cyst, dermoid cyst, foreign body reaction, calcification in lymph node, fat necrosis, pyogenic granuloma, chalazion and keratoacanthoma, but a high index of suspicion and careful histological examination of its characteristic clinical feature can help clinicians to differentiate it from other tumors.   DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjo.v18i1.10426  Bangladesh J Otorhinolaryngol 2012; 18(1): 84-86

Breast cancer is a continuous cell growth that spreads without control in breast tissue. Young women especially those who are in reproductive ages with breast cancer tend to have more malignant cancer and worse prognosis. The purpose of this study is to prove history of first age menarche ≤12 years associated with the incidence of breast cancer in reproductive ages. Research design analytic observational study used a control case study design. The population in this study were reproductive women aged 15-49 years who were examined at the Oncology clinic in Tugurejo General Hospital with anatomical pathology results. The samples in this study were 42 cases and 42 controls with consecutive sampling technique. The data were analyzed univaraiate anda bivariate by chi-square. Results research history of first age menarche ≤12 years releted of breast cancer with value p= 0,005; OR= 4,015; 95% CI= 1,618-9,966. Conclusion history of the first age of menarche ≤12 years is related to the incidence of breast cancer in women of childbearing age. The researchers can add new variables about risk factors for breast cancer.

AbstractBecause of a lack of uniform collection of gender identity data, population-level breast cancer statistics in the transgender community are unknown. With recent estimates that at least 0.6% (1 in every 167 people) of the U.S. population is transgender, guidance on breast cancer risk, screening, and management in this population is needed. Such guidance should examine modifications, if any, to recommendations in cisgender populations, taking into consideration any history of hormone therapy exposure or breast surgery. This article describes existing evidence on breast cancer incidence in transgender women and men, and attempts to make rational recommendations regarding the screening for and approach to managing breast cancer in transgender populations. Current data are mostly limited to case reports which are reviewed here. More prospective, population-level research is needed to better understand the risks and predictors of breast cancer in this population, as well as to better inform the most appropriate screening modality, age of starting screening, and interval. Ultimately, a risk score calculator similar to existing risk models such as the Gail score, as well as an approach to shared decision making that involves patient-centered perspectives, is needed to best guide practices in this area.

The radiographic appearance of the breast on mammography varies among women, and reflects variations in breast tissue composition and the different X-ray attenuation characteristics of these tissues. Fat is radiologically lucent and appears dark on a mammogram. Connective and epithelial tissues are radiologically dense and appear light. These variations in appearance are commonly described as the percentage of the breast image that is radiologically dense, or as percent mammographic density (PMD). There is now extensive evidence that PMD is a risk factor for breast cancer, with a 4- to 6-fold gradient in risk between women with 75% or more PMD compared with those with 10% or less. However, the accuracy of risk prediction in individual women is modest. The extent of PMD is associated inversely with greater age, parity, and weight, and is reduced by the menopause and by tamoxifen. PMD is positively associated with greater height, a family history of breast cancer, and is increased by combined hormone therapy. The relative risk associated with density is substantially larger than the relative risk of breast cancer associated with a family history of the disease or any of the menstrual and reproductive risk factors. It is estimated that the risks of breast cancer attributable to density of 50% or more may be 16% for all breast cancers. Although combined hormone therapy and tamoxifen respectively increase a decrease both PMD and breast cancer risk, there is as yet insufficient evidence to use PMD as a surrogate marker for breast cancer.
