To compare the clinical efficacy of intralesional corticosteroid injection combined with topical corticosteroids versus topical corticosteroids alone in patients with idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM). Patients diagnosed with IGM and treated at the Breast Surgery Department of Peking Union Medical College Hospital between October 2016 and March 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Based on treatment modalities, patients were divided into an injection group (receiving intralesional corticosteroid injections plus topical corticosteroids) and a control group (receiving topical corticosteroids alone). Clinical outcomes and recurrence rates were compared between the two groups. Seventy-eight patients meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria were enrolled, with 51 in the injection group and 27 in the control group. The median age was 35 years (range: 22-45). The maximum lesion diameter was 8.7±2.9 cm in the injection group and 7.1±2.7 cm in the control group. Compared with the control group, the injection group showed a significantly shorter time to half remission(2.8±0.9 weeks Compared with topical corticosteroid monotherapy, the combina-tion of intralesional corticosteroid injection and topical corticosteroids provides faster symptom control and shorter treatment duration while maintaining high efficacy and low long-term recurrence rates, offering a more effective therapeutic option for IGM patients.

The armadillo repeat containing 5 (ARMC5) gene is part of a family of protein-coding genes that are rich in armadillo repeat sequences, are ubiquitously present in eukaryotes, and mediate interactions between proteins, playing roles in various cellular processes. Current research has demonstrated that reduced expression or absence of the ARMC5 gene in various tumor tissues can lead to uncontrolled cell proliferation, thereby inducing a range of diseases. The ARMC5 gene was initially extensively studied in the context of bilateral macronodular adrenocortical disease (BMAD), with harmful pathogenic variants in ARMC5 identified in approximately 50% of BMAD patients. With advancing research, scientists have discovered that ARMC5 pathogenic variants may also have potential effects on other diseases and could be associated with increased susceptibility to certain cancers. This review aims to present the latest research progress on how the ARMC5 gene plays its role in tumors. It outlines the basic structure of ARMC5 and the regions where it functions, as well as the diseases currently proven to be associated with ARMC5. Moreover, some evidence suggests its relation to embryonic development and the regulation of immune system activity. In conclusion, the ARMC5 gene is a crucial focal point in genetic and medical research. Understanding its function and regulation is of great importance for the development of new therapeutic strategies related to diseases associated with its pathogenic variants.

Phosphatase and tensin-homolog deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) is an important cancer suppressor gene. Its pathogenic mutation leads to PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome (PHTS), a rare syndrome also known as Cowden syndrome, which is relevant to early-onset hereditary breast cancer (BC). In this paper, we report three patients with unilateral multicentric BC and synchronous and metachronous bilateral BC who harbored PTEN gene mutations, and summarize the clinical manifestations, pathological characteristics, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up outcomes to provide reference for management of PTEN gene mutation-related BC among the Cowden syndrome population.
