We report 30 cases of tuberculosis of the breast observed among 1,023 male and female patients who consulted at the National Institute of Neoplastic Diseases with the presumption of being carriers of mammary tumors. Tuberculosis of the breast in our study represents 2.94 percent of all breast lesions. The disease has been observed in all ages, most frequently between 30 and 40 years; 67 percent of cases was included in this decade. The clinical course of the disease goes through the stages of nodule, skin adhesion and fistula, with or without lymphadenopathy. From the viewpoint of differential diagnosis with carcinoma of the breast, it is possible to distinguish two periods: an initial one which shares many of the physical signs of carcinoma, and other subsequent, very characteristic that identifies with the stage of fistula and which can make the correct diagnosis. The pathological stud...

It is established that mesonephric remnants rest of the lateral margin of the cervix, can suffer malignant change. Mesonephric Adenocarcinoma of the cervix uteri, is a rare lesion, and its incidence in the Instituto Nacional de Enfermedades Neoplásicas, is 0.03 % in over all cervical carcinomas, and 1.9 % in adenocarcinomas of the uterine cervix. Cervical cytologic studies have little value in the detection of the early disease process. We considered that a combination treatment of radium plus radical surgery to endocervical and mesonephric adenocarcinoma in clinical stage I and II, is the best procedure.
