    Primary breast tuberculosis: imaging findings of a rare disease
    (2021) Baykan, Ali H.; Sayiner, Hakan S.; Inan, Ibrahim; Aydin, Elcin; Erturk, Sukru M.; 0000-0003-0907-3647; 33587199; AAI-8276-2021
    Breast tuberculosis is a rare form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis which tends to affect females of reproductive age, and is much rarer in males, postmenopausal women, and pre-pubescent girls. It is difficult to diagnose because it can mimic benign conditions such as a fibroadenoma, as well as malignant diseases like a carcinoma. It is also particularly difficult to distinguish breast tuberculosis from granulomatous mastitis, so other possible diagnoses should be ruled out first. The diagnosis of breast tuberculosis has three essential pillars: clinical examination, radiological evaluations, and histopathological sampling. Radiological evaluations are not only critical in diagnosis but are also important in the planning of the treatment and during the follow-up. This paper aims to review the imaging findings and the differential diagnosis of breast tuberculosis.

    Not Otherwise Specified-Type Sarcoma of Breast with CD10 Expression: Case Report
    (2019) Hasbay, Bermal; Bolat, Filiz Aka; Aslan, Hulya; Aytac, Huseyin Ozgur; 31620687
    Primary breast sarcomas are very rare and account less than 1% of invasive breast carcinomas. Primary sarcomas of breast are leiomyosarcoma, angiosarcoma, liposarcoma, fibrosarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor and pleomorphic sarcoma. Recently, a new CD10 positive group of sarcoma was identified. These tumors cannot be classified as a soft tissue sarcoma and show diffuse strong positive staining pattern with CD10 (NSCD10). Herein we report clinical and morphological characteristics of two cases diagnosed with not otherwise specified-type sarcoma with CD10 expression by histologically and immunohistochemical findings with the literature. NSCD10 shows similarity with leiomyosarcoma and sarcomatoid-type metaplastic carcinoma histomorphologically among specific sarcomas of breast. CD10 expression should be taken into consideration in the presence of not diagnosed and not specified tumors and CD10 should be added to the immunohistochemical panel.

    An Unusual Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor Presentain: Breast, Liver and Lymph Node Metastasis
    (2017) Hasbay, Bermal; Aytac, Huseyin Ozgur; Kayaselcuk, Fazilet; Torun, Nese; 000-0002-1180-3840; 0000-0002-5597-676X; 29082381; AAE-2550-2021; AAE-2718-2021
    Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GIST) are the common mesenchymal tumors of gastrointestinal tract. They can display benign and malignant clinical behavior. The most common metastasis sites of malignant stromal tumor are liver, peritoneum, lung and bones. Metastasis to breast is extremely rare. Here, we present a case of GIST with liver, bone, lymph node and breast metastasis by reviewing the literature.

    Ultrasound Elastography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings of Breast Angiosarcoma Mimicking a Benign Lesion by Elastography: A Case Report
    (2017) Aslan, Hulya; Pourbagher, Aysin; Ezer, Ali; Bolat, Fİliz Aka; Yabanoglu, Hakan; 0000-0002-7138-246X; 0000-0002-1161-3369; 0000-0002-3834-9924; 0000-0003-0268-8999; AAK-9104-2021; AAJ-7865-2021; AAJ-8558-2021; AAK-2011-2021
    Introduction: Primary and secondary angiosarcomas of the breast are rare neoplasms. Radiologically, magnetic resonance imaging, mammography, and ultrasound (US) findings of angiosarcomas have been reported previously. However, ultrasound (US) elastography findings of angiosarcoma have not been reported yet. Currently, US elastography should be used commonly to decide biopsy or short-term follow-up of breast lesions. Case Presentation: A 39-year-old female from Adana, Turkey, was admitted to Dr.Turgut Noyan Adana Teaching and Medical Research Center at the breast center of Baskent University, with a palpable right breast mass, which had been enlarging for one year in 2015. Our breast center is a tertiary referral center. B-mode US and US elastography findings suggested that the lesion was benign; however, magnetic resonance imaging showed a mass enhancing intensely at early phases with rapid wash out. The final diagnosis of the mastectomy specimen confirmed low-grade angiosarcoma. If the recommendation would have been based on the elastography findings, it would have been catastrophic because angiosarcomas tend to rapidly increase in size. Conclusions: B-mode US and elastography findings of breast angiosarcoma may mimic benign lesions.

    Breast Involvement by Hematologic Malignancies: Ultrasound and Elastography Findings with Clinical Outcomes
    (2017) Aslan, Hulya; Pourbagher, Aysin; 0000-0002-7138-246X; 29296470; AAK-9104-2021
    Objective: Hematological malignancies very rarely involve the breast. The aim of this study is to retrospectively evaluate B-mode ultrasound (US) and elastography (ES) findings of breast involvement by hematologic malignancies with clinical outcomes. Materials and Methods: All core-needle biopsy results that were performed at our tertiary breast center from January 2013 to September 2016 were searched. Our search revealed 9 patients with breast involvement either by leukemia or lymphoma. All patients were examined using B-mode US and ES. US and ES findings were analyzed with the consensus of two radiologists, and clinical outcomes were noted. Results: The mean age of the study population was 41.6 years (range, 20-83 years). Two patients showed diffuse hypoechoic parenchymal infiltration. The elasticity assessments of these lesions were soft and intermediate. The remaining 7 patients had mass lesions. The elasticity assessment of these masses according to Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System US was as follows: Soft (n = 1), intermediate (n = 4), high (n = 2). Conclusions: It is important to consider that hematologic malignancies may appear as soft or intermediate lesions on ES. Patients' history and clinical background should help us to consider breast involvement. In addition, the clinical outcomes may not be related with elasticity assessments.
