An adenomyoepithelioma (AME) is an uncommon neoplasm characterized by proliferation of both epithelial and myoepithelial cells in the salivary gland, skin, lung and breast. AMEs can recur, progress to malignancy and metastasize. A 68-year-old woman presented a large mass occupying her whole right breast. The mass had grown slowly for about 20 years and the preoperative biopsy of the mass was chondroid syringoma. The mass was completely resected and the postoperative biopsy revealed malignant AME with a negative resection margin. The patient didn't receive any adjuvant therapy and has been free of recurrence or metastasis up to now. We report herein a case of a malignant AME that was diagnosed in the largest breast mass reported to date. This mass grew slowly and without metastasis. Clinicians should consider this rare disease entity in the differential diagnosis of a breast mass and remember the importance of complete excision of this tumor.

7.Weight Gain and its Correlates among Breast Cancer Survivors.

PURPOSE: Weight gain after diagnosis of breast cancer is a profound issue that may negatively impact cancer prognosis. However, most existing research on weight change has been conducted in Western countries. In addition, several factors related to weight gain have been reported; however, the evidence is inconsistent. The purpose of this study was to examine weight gain and its correlates among Korean breast cancer survivors. METHODS: A total of 132 female breast cancer survivors were recruited from one university hospital in South Korea. Participants completed anthropometric measurements (i.e., body weight, height) and a self-reported questionnaire, including the International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form and Mini Dietary Assessment. RESULTS: The mean weight change was -0.09 kg (SD = 4.28). Only 27 women (19.7%) gained more than 5% of their weight at diagnosis, 59.1% maintained weight, and 21.2% lost weight. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, significant correlates of weight gain were younger age, obesity at diagnosis, duration of more than 36 months since diagnosis, and low diet quality. CONCLUSION: Younger women, women who were obese at diagnosis, women with more than 36 months since diagnosis, or women who showed lower diet quality should be considered at high-risk for weight gain. Findings from our study suggest that optimal weight management strategies should be developed using ethnically- or culturally-appropriate approaches.

8.Nodal metastasis in the distal mesorectum: need for total mesorectal excision of rectal cancer.

Locoregional failure of rectal cancer is a troublesome problem and a major cause of morbidity and mortality following curative surgery. The mesorectum has been regarded as an important site in local failure after surgery of rectal cancer. Total mesorectal excision (TME) has been raised by some colorectal surgeons to prevent early local recurrence. This study was performed to ascertain the incidence of metastatic lymph nodes in the distal mesorectum (DMR) of the colorectal cancer patient. We also examined the clinicopathologic risk factors of distal mesorectal metastasis. Eight of 53 patients had positive metastatic lymph nodes in DMR. Twenty-seven patients were Dukes B and 26 patients were Dukes C stage. Out of 26 Dukes C patients, 8 patients (30.8%) had metastatic lymph nodes in the DMR. However, there was no significant difference in risk factors between DMR positive and DMR negative patients with Dukes C stage. In conclusion, the incidence of metastatic lymph nodes in DMR was about 30.8%, therefore the mesorectum especially the DMR should be removed completely by total mesorectal excision to eradicate the metastatic lymph nodes which may cause local recurrence.

Thyroid hemiagenesis of one lobe of the thyroid is a rare congenital anomaly in which one lobe of the thyroid gland fails to develop. It is more frequently found in women than in men, and absence of the left lobe is more common. The variations of prevalence of the anomaly have been reported to be around 0.05~0.2%. Patients with thyroid hemiagenesis are usually asymptomatic and discovered incidentally with other pathologic condition such as a benign adenoma, multinodular goiter, hyperthyroidism or carcinomas. We report a 29-year-old woman with an incidentally discovered hemiagenesis of the right thyroid.
