Objective: To describe the sociodemographic data, clinical manifestations and treatment in patients diagnosed with non-puerperal mastitis. Methods: Descriptive, retrospective study of medical records in the institutional database between January 1, 2016 and December 31, 2019. Demographic, clinical and treatment data was collected and analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: The prevalence of nonpuerperal mastitis was 3.8%, in mestizo women about 40.4 years-old at time of diagnosis. The most frequent reason for consultation was inflammatory changes in breast in 84.8% (n = 28), and presence of mass in 12.1% (n = 4). There was association with smoking in 33.3% (n = 11). 97% of the patients received initial treatment with antibiotics (n = 32), and ultrasound-guided drainage was performed in 7 cases (21.2%). No case had drainage by mastotomy, and one patient (9%) was treated with quadr...

Objective: To describe the sociodemographic data, clinical and paraclinical manifestations, treatment and recurrence, among a series of patients diagnosed with phyllodes tumor. Methods: Descriptive, retrospective study of an institutional database, between January 1, 2016 and December 31, 2019. Demographic, clinical and paraclinical data were collected from medical records, which were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: The prevalence of phyllodes tumor in the sample was 1.3%. All cases were women, mean age 42 years, with breast mass as the most frequent reason for consultation (n = 42, 97.6%), mean tumor size 8.6 cm (range 2.1-20 cm). The sharp biopsy made the diagnosis of phyllodes tumor in 8 patients (18.6%) and fibroadenoma in 30.2% (n = 12). According to the histological classification, the most frequent were the benign and borderline type with 34.9% (n = 15) each, and m...

Among women, breast cancer is the most common cancer in the world, accounting for 25.7 % of all cancers and thus making it a topic of interest in public health. Breast cancer is a complex, heterogeneous genetic disease and, in the vast majority of cases, of unknown etiology. Around 7 % of breast cancer cases in the general population present a susceptibility gene mutation of Mendelian inheritance. The ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) gene mutation is found inless than 1 % of the general population, and association studies conducted with controls have shown that these alleles are characterized by a moderate risk (RR: 2 ‐ 4) for hereditary cancer. Mutations in ATM incompletely cosegregate the disease, with an estimated 15 % of mutation carriers in this gene developing cancer. The incomplete penetrance of ATM, as wellas other moderate‐risk genes, supports that they follow a polygenic...
