Discharge has been cited as the second to third most commonly reported breast symptom, next to palpable lumps and tenderness.1-3 Numerous groups have discussed management strategies regarding nipple discharge, and there has been a significant evolution away from surgical intervention. For the radiologist, nipple discharge can be a dilemma for many reasons. For academic medical centers with the availability of a network of clinical breast care personnel, subspecialty trained breast radiologists, and breast surgeons, a comprehensive evaluation and management strategy is more realistic. In the community setting, managing a patient with nipple discharge can be challenging due to limited time and resources. Fortunately, the vast majority of patients presenting with nipple discharge can be appropriately triaged with a thorough history and physical exam. For those requiring imaging, mammography and ultrasound are widely available for initial work-up. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has also become more commonplace in recent years and has become an important tool in the evaluation process of nipple discharge. Ductography, which is decreasing in popularity, may continue to play a specific role in managing nipple discharge; however, the availability of skilled practitioners may be limited. Our aim in this review is to discuss features that differentiate physiologic from pathologic nipple discharge, provide a literature summary to guide imaging recommendations, and introduce a flow chart as an overview for step-by-step management.","PeriodicalId":9224,"journal":{"name":"Breast disease","volume":"44 ","pages":"15581551241312602"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143448266","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 underwent a bilateral breast US revealing a central retroareolar large hypoechoic solid mass about 55 × 33 mm. A core needle biopsy was performed leading to the suspicion of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The patient was planned to start CHOP protocol till the final confirmatory pathologic results. She received 4 cycles with a partial response. A new biopsy from the breast mass and IHC revealed the diagnosis of myeloid sarcoma. Bone marrow examination was normocellular with no abnormal deposits. She received 4 cycles HD Cytarabine with a PET CT revealing a complete response. She is prepared for bone marrow transplantation.ConclusionBeing rare, breast myeloid sarcoma is often misinterpreted as NHL or lobular breast cancer. Oncologists must remain aware of this condition because it frequently co-occurs with or follows AML.","PeriodicalId":9224,"journal":{"name":"Breast disease","volume":"44 ","pages":"15581551251324069"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143699699","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 aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of enriching fat graft with PRP for delayed correction of deformities after conservative surgery for breast cancer regarding esthetic outcome and incidence of complications.Methods: The current study included 50 female patients who were scheduled for delayed lipofilling for correction of deformities after conservative surgery for breast cancer. The studied patients were randomly allocated into 2 groups: Group I (G I) included 25 patients scheduled for PRP enriched lipoinjection and Group II (G II) included 25 patients scheduled for lipoinjection without PRP as a control group.Results: Number of sessions of lipoinjection was significantly less in G I in comparison to G II (P = 0.024). During the 2nd session; the amounts of fat injected and harvested were significantly less in G I in comparison to G II (P = 0.049 and 0.001 respectively).

For the adjuvant treatment, all the patients included in our study received radiotherapy and seven received chemotherapy. Local recurrence occurred on the operative scar in one patient after completion of radiation therapy. Metastatic relapse was described in five patients. The time to onset of metastases varied between two months and five years. Nevertheless, a complete remission was noted in 6 patients with a follow-up varying from four years to 20 years.

However, manual diagnosis of the disease is time-consuming and often limited by the availability of screening systems. Thus, there is a pressing need for an automatic diagnosis system that can quickly detect cancer in its early stages. Data mining and machine learning techniques have emerged as valuable tools in developing such a system. In this study we investigated the performance of several machine learning models on the Wisconsin Breast Cancer (original) dataset with a particular emphasis on finding which models perform the best for breast cancer diagnosis. The study also explores the contrast between the proposed ANN methodology and conventional machine learning techniques. The comparison between the methods employed in the current study and those utilized in earlier research on the Wisconsin Breast Cancer dataset is also compared. The findings of this study are in line with those of previous studies which also highlighted the efficacy of SVM, Decision Tree, CART, ANN, and ELM ANN for breast cancer detection. Several classifiers achieved high accuracy, precision and F1 scores for benign and malignant tumours, respectively. It is also found that models with hyperparameter adjustment performed better than those without and boosting methods like as XGBoost, Adaboost, and Gradient Boost consistently performed well across benign and malignant tumours. The study emphasizes the significance of hyperparameter tuning and the efficacy of boosting algorithms in addressing the complexity and nonlinearity of data.
