This injury is typically observed in young individuals in the course of sports.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical and pathological characteristics, and treatment of men diagnosed with breast cancer. Methods: This is a retrospective descriptive study, carried out at a tertiary hospital in Nairobi, Kenya, of men diagnosed with breast cancer between January 2009 and December 2021. Data on the clinicopathological characteristics, treatment, and outcome were collected. Standard descriptive statistics were used to describe the patient characteristics. Results: Seventeen male patients were diagnosed with breast cancer, representing 1.40% of all breast cancer patients. Four patients were excluded due to incomplete records. The median age at diagnosis was 68 years (range 28–83). The majority were African Bantu (n=11, 84.6%). Most patients presented with clinical T1 (n=10, 76.9%) and N0 (n=8, 61.5%) disease. Luminal A molecular subtype was the most common (n=8, 61.5%). All 11 patients who underwent operative management underwent modified radical mastectomy. Conclusion: The rate of male breast cancer was similar to the global rate. The majority of our patients presented with early breast cancer and estrogen receptor-positive disease. Treatment was primarily modified radical mastectomy followed by adjuvant systemic therapy.","PeriodicalId":37442,"journal":{"name":"Annals of African Surgery","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84417279","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They display biologic diversity, ranging from benign to malignant. PTs of the breast are mostly found in females aged 35–55 years and are rare in adolescents and the elderly. They usually present as a fast growing, painless breast mass. The treatment of choice for PTs is complete excision with clear margins. In patients with large PTs, breast reconstruction results in better outcome and increased satisfaction.Our patient, a 39-year-old female presented with an enlarging breast mass over a period of 6 months. Physical examination showed a large, ulcerated mass involving the entire right breast. Histopathology revealed features of a malignant PT. Total mastectomy and immediate reconstruction with a pedicled latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap and symmetrization reduction mastopexy of the left breast was done. At 6 months, the patient has not shown any gross tumor recurrence with acceptable cosmesis.","PeriodicalId":37442,"journal":{"name":"Annals of African Surgery","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81041791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It rarely occurs in childhood. As a result of the scarcity of cases, the  pathogenesis is not clear, and treatment of BPH in this age group is challenging. This report focuses on a 13-year-old patient diagnosed with a  histologically confirmed BPH, having presented with a 2-year history of recurrent hematuria and acute urinary retention. Magnetic resonance imaging  (MRI) revealed a 287 g prostatic mass, with no signs of malignancy nor metastasis detected. A decision for open suprapubic prostatectomy was made.  Postoperative follow-up at 1 year was uneventful. The possible causes of juvenile BPH have been postulated as gonadotropin supplementation for  cryptorchidism and human chorionic gonadotropin-containing agent use by the mother during pregnancy. Our case had a history of the right inguinal  undescended testis with scrotal orchidopexy done at 11 years of age. However, the patient had no history of human chorionic gonadotropin use,  endocrinologic abnormality, or other possible contributing factors. His antenatal history was normal, with no use of human chorionic gonadotropin by  the mother. Due to the very few reported cases, there is insufficient data to help understand the pathogenesis of childhood BPH.  ","PeriodicalId":37442,"journal":{"name":"Annals of African Surgery","volume":"62 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83828563","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The patient was first stabilized with intravenous fluids, intravenous antibiotics, oxygen, and blood transfusion.

The histopathology report was consistent with a colonic duplication cyst with ectopic gastric and pancreatic mucosa.
