PURPOSE The age at which women present with breast cancer varies widely among nations, and may behave differently in younger women. Differences clinicopathological characteristics based on have not been well characterized Pakistani patients cancer. METHODS We conducted a retrospective review of symptoms presenting to Aga Khan University Hospital (AKUH), large tertiary care center Pakistan, between 2001 2010; we compared young (≤ 40 years) versus older (> terms their characteristics. also...
Desmoid-type fibromatosis (DTF) is a rare non-metastatic mesenchymal tumour that accounts for only 0.2% of all primary breast neoplasms. This locally aggressive has high recurrence rate and primarily affects women aged 20–40 years. DTF often presents with features mimicking carcinoma, posing diagnostic challenges the risk mismanagement. We report case young woman left-sided mass skin dimpling. Initial ultrasound core needle biopsy findings suggested adenosis intraductal papilloma. Due to...
Abstract Background Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women, affecting over 1.5 million women every year, which accounts for highest number of cancer-related deaths globally. Hereditary breast (HBC), an important subset cancer, 5–10% total cases. However, Low Middle-Income Countries (LMICs), population-specific risk HBC different ethnicities and correlation with certain clinical characteristics remain unexplored. Methods Retrospective chart review patients who visited clinic...
To determine the outcome and cost saving by placing ultrasound guided surgical clips for tumor localization in patients undergoing neo-adjuvant chemotherapy breast cancer.This retrospective cross sectional analytical study was conducted at Department of Diagnostic Radiology, Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi, Pakistan from January to December 2014. A sample 25 women fulfilling our selection criteria taken. All came department core biopsy suspicious lesions clip placement index lesion...
The incidence of breast cancer in Pakistan has been rising with approximately one third these patients requiring mastectomy. Among reconstruction treatment options, the use Acellular Dermal Matrix (ADM) for pre-pectoral implant surgery proven effective improved cosmetic outcome. However, due to high cost it cannot be regularly implemented a developing country like Pakistan. An alternative ADM, Polyglactin 910 (Vicryl™, Ethicon) mesh introduced reconstructive which shown almost 10 times lower...
Various oncoplastic techniques have emerged over the years to preserve breast cosmesis and symmetry without compromising principles of tumor excision. One newer for volume replacement achieve is use fasciocutaneous pedicled chest wall perforator flaps or local (LPF). The objectives this study were document details surgical procedure as well patient-reported satisfaction well-being following using a validated BREAST-Q tool among Pakistani women.This cross-sectional was conducted from March...
Introduction Male breast cancer is uncommon and managed on the guidelines of female due to tumor rarity. We sought identify incidence, clinicopathological features, survival all male patients in our hospital. Methods A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted at Aga Khan University Hospital (AKUH), Karachi, Pakistan, from January 1986 December 2018. Demographic data, treatment records, follow-up data who were treated AKUH reviewed. Results Thirty-eight out 42 presented over a period...
Fibroadenoma is the most common benign lesion of breast in young women, characterized by an aberrant proliferation both epithelial and mesenchymal elements. It termed giant fibroadenoma when it larger than 5 cm or weighs more 500 g with incidence 0.5–2% all fibroadenomas. In this report, we discuss a case 13-year-old Pakistani girl who presented juvenile left was treated subareolar lump excision through periareolar incision excellent cosmetic outcome. To best our literature search, first...
Bifurcated ribs are a neuroskeletal anomaly which incidentally discovered on chest X-ray. It is developmental disorder where sternal end of rib split into two, commonly found in males, the right side and unilaterally not associated with vertebral defect. In this report we discuss case 17-year-old girl left bifid alongside segmental defect vertebra. usually occur isolation or other abnormalities defects. Most cases asymptomatic at post-mortem. Gorlin Syndrome condition both these anatomical...
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) of the breast is an infrequent soft tissue sarcoma that usually affects young to middle-aged women. Our case report describes a unique occurrence DFSP in adolescent girl, which was initially being managed as keloid for 2 years under dermatology despite refractory treatment. Once diagnosis confirmed through punch biopsy, our patient underwent surgical excision lesion general anaesthesia. at increased risk damage ductal system due proximity nipple-areolar...
Abstract Background Clinical breast exam (CBE) by outreach healthcare workers (HCW) may help downstage cancer in resource-limited areas where mammography not be feasible. We evaluated the effectiveness of a pilot cascade-model training programme for HCWs remote Pakistan. Methods The comprised three phases. In phase one, fellowship-trained surgeons at metropolitan academic centre trained six to perform CBEs. two, these (master trainers) 15 additional HCWs, implementing cascade training....
Abstract Introduction: Persistent post-surgical pain (PPSP) is significant issue following breast cancer treatment that leads to disability and psychological distress often difficult manage. Objectives: Primary objective of this study was determine the frequency persistent in patients after surgery while secondary see distribution characteristics these patients. Methods: In prospective observational single cohort all adult female with biopsy proven carcinoma who were scheduled for elective...
Breast cancer (BC) patients and survivors can experience immense emotional psychosocial trauma. Treatment modalities for BC, including surgery, chemotherapy radiotherapy are associated with certain displeasing undesirable effects, physical restrictions as well mental stress. However, it has been ascertained that appropriate supportive rehabilitative strategies significantly help to alleviate the distress. Along several conventional therapy options, novel Virtual Reality (VR) tool opened a...

It commonly presents as slow-growing nodule on the upper trunk, and head neck region, mostly age bracket of 15-35 years, with no gender preference. While established guidelines exist for optimal management malignant ES, some therapies have been studied. The diagnosis this entity extremely important it can harbour component disastrous outcomes which may be missed due to...
