Primary breast lymphoma (PBL) represents 0.04-0.5% of all malignant breast tumors, <1% of all patients with non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas and 1.7-2.2% of all patients with extra nodal lymphomas. Despite the high prevalence of breast cancer, primary breast lymphoma is very rare. We report a rare case of PBL, successfully treated with surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. This is the first case of PBL to be reported from Sudan to our knowledge.

We herein present a rare case of breast fibromatosis, the contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) findings of which we believe have never been described. The high similarity between the clinical and imaging manifestations of breast cancer makes its differential diagnosis difficult. In this report, we describe the CEUS findings of a less common type of fibromatosis, discuss the potential value of CEUS to differentiate it from malignant breast lesions, and briefly review the literature.

Aim. Despite the great progress in cancer treating, the breast cancer remains lethal in 15 % cases. Regardless of the many years of research and extensive experience in the treatment of this type of cancer, one of the main problems in diagnosis and therapy is its high clinical and genetic heterogeneity. Thereby the identification of markers for personalized treatment of patients is still an actual issue. Methods. Collection of clinical material, RNA isolation, and expression analysis of ITSN2 and TKS5 isoforms using quantitative real time PCR with fluorescence-labeled probes. Results. We have found that ITSN2-S expression is reliably reduced in HER2/neu-positive tumors with poor prognosis. There were no significant differences in the expression of ITSN2-L and TKS5-L in the analyzed samples. Conclusions. These studies have demonstrated the possible use of ITSN2 short isoform (ITSN2-S) as a prognostic marker for breast cancer. Keywords: breast cancer, ITSN2, TKS5, expression analysis.

The article presents the experience of the Oncology department No. 1 of the Regional Clinical Oncology Center in Khabarovsk in performing organ-preserving and reconstructive plastic surgeries for breast cancer in the period 2014–2019. An assessment was made of the incidence of local recurrence or distant progression of the disease, as well as risk factors for their occurrence

It has been hypothesized that human cytomegalovirus (CMV) may be associated with many cancers in human. However, the role of CMV infection in breast cancer remains unclear. We aimed to assess whether CMV infection have a role in development of breast cancer. A 120 women presented to breast cancer clinic with breast mass. Full history from each woman was taken, full examination including breast examination and lymph-node. Blood was aspirated from each woman for detection of CMV IgG, IgM, tp53 and CA15-3 by ELISA. A 50 patients were documented to have breast cancer by histopathological examination. The study reveal that was heights level of CMV IgG and IgM among patients with malignant breast mass (12/50) and (8/50) respectively in other side the lowest level in benign tumor (6/50) and (2/50) respectively and high prevalence of CMV in breast cancer. In conclusion There is strong evidence suggest that CMV has an important role in the development of breast cancer.
