This tumor may be primary or secondary to previous radiation therapy and it is also named "radiogenic angiosarcoma of the breast", which is still a rare entity with a poor prognosis. So far, there are only 307 cases reported about these tumors in the literature. We present a case of a 73-year-old woman with a prior history of breast-conserving treatment of right breast cancer, exhibiting mild pinkish skin changes in the ipsilateral breast. Her mammography was consistent with benign alterations (BI-RADS 2). On incisional biopsy specimens, hematoxylin-eosin showed atypical vascular lesion and suggested immunohistochemisty for diagnostic elucidation. Resection of the lesions was performed and histology showed radiogenic angiosarcoma. The patient underwent simple mastectomy. Immunohistochemistry was positive for antigens related to CD31 and CD34, and C-MYC oncogene amplification, confirming the diagnosis of angiosarcoma induced by breast irradiation. A delayed diagnosis is an important concern. Initial skin changes in radiogenic angiosarcoma are subtle, therefore, these alterations may be confused with other benign skin conditions such as telangiectasia. We highlight this case clinical aspects with the intention of alerting to the possibility of angiosarcoma of the breast in patients with a previous history of adjuvant radiation therapy for breast cancer treatment. Sixteen months after the surgery the patient remains asymptomatic.

Treatment (i.e., surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and hormone therapy) and prognosis are similar to breast cancer in women. The aim of this study was to describe five MBC cases and to analyze the occurrence of relapse in a follow-up of 88 months (36–180 months). Case series: The mean age of five patients of the case series was 69 years (57–88 years). All cases were histologically classified as ICNS. The mean tumor size of the series was 2.6 cm (1.0–5.2 cm). One patient of the case series presented with perineural invasion, and another case had axillary node involvement (+5/15). None of the patients had metastasis at the time of diagnosis. All patients underwent s...

Em pacientes jovens com maturação fetal, o tratamento é a histerectomia radical com linfnodenectomia pélvica bilateral, precedida de cesariana. Relatamos uma paciente de 33 anos que foi diagnosticada com um carcinoma epidermoide invasivo em seu estágio inicial no curso de uma gravidez de 26 semanas. Após discussão com o casal, optou-se por aguardar a maturação fetal e a gravidez seria interrompida na 36ª semana por cesárea, seguida de histerectomia radical e linfonodectomia pélvica bilateral. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo observacional retrospectivo, transversal, qualitativo e descritivo. Este trabalho foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa da Universidade Estadual do Piauí, co...

The MBC is a rare and aggressive breast cancer, accounting for approximately 1% of all breast tumors that have a worse prognosis. The aim of this study was to describe four cases of MBC, analyzing the progression of patients in a mean follow-up of 25 months (11–43 months). Case series: All patients were female. The mean age of the four cases of the series was 50 years (40–61 years). All patients had tumors that were histologically classified as metaplastic carcinoma. The mean tumor size of the series was 8.3 cm (2.2–15.5 cm). Two patients had the angiolymphatic invasion, and none had the perineural invasion. In three cases, there was an axillary node involvement. None of the cases had metastasis a...

Even though the annual screening with magnetic resonance and mammography promotes the early detection of the disease, the gold standard for the primary prevention of breast cancer is still bilateral mastectomy. Objectives: To characterize breast cancer with mutation in the BRCA gene. Method: This is a retrospective study, case series. We included all patients who had tested positive for BRCA mutation and who had a previous or current diagnosis of breast cancer from 1999 to 2019. The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of Universidade Federal do Piauí, report n. 2.817.502. Results: We found 10 patients with previous breast cancer, or at the time when they had a mutation in the BRCA gene. They were all female, with mean age of 39.4 years at diagnosis, average of 3.6 cases of cancer in the family. Five (50.0%) were triple negat...

Methods: Retrospective cohort. Twelve (12) breast cancer female patients were retrospectively evaluated. These women had undergone breast-conserving treatment in which the tumor bed had been demarcated with titanium 200 surgical clips to guide breast boost radiotherapy. Volumes were calculated. Radiotherapy planning in the same patient with boost dose guided by metal clips was compared to planning guided by surgical scar or by imaging tests prior to surgical treatment. Results: A reduction of 36.7% in total volume of the irradiated breast (p=0.022), a reduction of 55.7% in boost volume (p=0.001), a reduction of 35.9% (p=0.001) in the breast volume receiving the prescribed boost dose and a reduction of 4.5% (p=0.014) in the maximum dose applied to the lung were shown. Conclusions: Clip placement in surgical bed following conservative treatment for breast cancer determined a reduction of 36.7% in irradiated breast volume and use of a lower dose of irradiation.

O carcinoma metaplásico da mama é mais comum em mulheres entre 55 e 60 anos. Apresenta-se em forma de uma massa palpável sem preferência por quadrante, com rápido crescimento e geralmente é mais largo do que outros tipos de tumores mamários. Os carcinomas têm poucos receptores para hormônios sexuais. No caso de carcinoma metaplásico com diferenciação osteossarcomatosa, sua apresentação é bem agressiva. A decisão sobre o tratamento apresenta dificuldades em função do baixo número de casos relatados na literatura. Neste relato, apresenta-se uma paciente com carcinoma metaplásico e diferenciação osteossarcomatosa no quadrante superior da mama direita. Foi realizada uma mastectomia com ressecção da pele do quadrante e do segmento do músculo peitoral infiltrado pelo tumor, com preservação do restante da pele e do complexo papiloareolar. Serão discutidas as descobertas patológicas. Devido às diversas opções de tratamento disponíveis para a paciente, conclui-se que mais estudos devem ser realizados sobre qual terapêutica possui maior impacto no prognóstico do paciente, bem como o papel da radioterapia/quimioterapia no paciente.

Metodologia: Realizou-se uma busca de estudos publicados na língua inglesa, na base de dados PubMed, utilizando-se as palavras sentinel vulvar cancer. Dos artigos encontrados, foram lidos todos os resumos e selecionados os que tinham pelo menos 20 pacientes incluídas, e que abordavam a utilização do conceito de LS no carcinoma da vulva. Resultados: Foram encontrados 212 artigos e selecionados 24 que avaliaram a segurança e utilidade clínica da detecção do LS no carcinoma de vulva. Nenhum estudo randomizado foi encontrado, todos eram séries de casos prospectivas ou retrospectivas. Um total de 1.203 pacientes foi avaliado. Tecnécio e/ou corante azul vital foram utilizados para identificação do LS, sendo que a associação das duas técnicas aumentou as taxas de detecção. A imunoistoquímica aumentou a sensibilidade na detecção de metástases quando comparada com à hematoxilina-eosina. Especificidade e valor preditivo positivo foram 100%. Observou-se sensibilidade acima de 80% em 22 estudos. Taxas de falso negativo variaram de 0 a 11,1%, com 18 estudos não alcançando 5%. O tempo médio de seguimento variou de 6,9 a 55,2 meses. Conclusão: A técnica do linfonodo sentinela pode ser oferecida a pacientes com câncer de vulva invasor sem metástase inguinal evidente.

Squamous cell cancer often occurs in sun-exposed areas, such as the head and neck. When it involves the breast and ulce-rates, invading the glandular parenchyma, it may mimic breast cancer. Confirmation by means of histopathological examination, combined with clinical examination, is a critical instrument for the accuracy of the diagnosis. We report a case of an epidermoid carcinoma located on the breast skin, initially diagnosed as breast cancer.

The aetiology of Mondor's disease is multifaceted and there are reports in the literature of an association between Mondor's disease and breast cancer. This disease occurs more commonly in women than men, mainly in the third and fourth decades of life, leading to a spontaneous remission in most cases. We report a case of a 45-year-old female patient that had been treated for breast carcinoma in situ.

The present study evaluated an alternative to excision of nonpalpable breast lesions, using injection of patent blue (CAS 3536-49-0) dye and air. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cohort study of 64 consecutive patients at a private clinic in the city of Teresina (Piauí), between January 2009 and December 2010. METHODS : The patients had received mammographic diagnoses of nonpalpable breast lesions classified as BI-RADS 3, 4 and 5, with indication of histopathological study. They underwent stereotaxy and/or ultrasound-guided injection of patent blue, for marking and subsequent excision of the lesion. RESULTS : The patients' mean age was 47.7 years. Nodes accounted for 53.1% of the breast abnormalities; microcalcifications, 37.5%; and complex cysts, 9.4%. In 89.1% of cas...

Methods: Fifty-six patients underwent radical hysterectomy and bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy for the treatment of International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage I or II cervical cancer. Four milliliters of patent blue dye were injected into the cervix. On the eve of surgery, all patients also received an injection of Dextran 500 labeled with technetium 99 m (Tc-99 m Dextran, 600 to 800 lCi) into the cervix and subsequently underwent pelvic lymphoscintigraphy. Results: Of the 56 patients, 1 (1.79%) had an anaphylactic reaction, and in 13 (23.22%), pulse oximetry readings were <96%. The lowest median pulse oximetry reading in these patients was 87%. Pulse oximetry readings began to decrease between 2 and 10 minutes after patent blue dye injection into the cervix and lasted for approximately 5 minutes. No changes in blood pressure, heart rate, or electrocardiogram were found during the period in which this alteration was recorded by the pulse oximeter. Conclusion: The decrease in pulse oximetry readings after patent blue dye injection into the cervix was associated with larger tumors and tumors that surrounded the external cervical os.
