[Neoplastic skin infiltration in chronic myelomonocytic leukemia].

Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia has been associated with various nonspecific cutaneous manifestations. Rarely has the leucaemia been reported to directly affect the skin. We present a case of 53-year old man with CMML who showed neoplastic cutaneous lesions. The occurrence of these lesions may be the presenting feature of the disease or may herald its progression to acute leukemia. Early diagnosis have therapeutic and prognostic significance.

[Ultrasonographic assessment in differential diagnosis of non-palpable breast tumors].

In this study we analyse the value of high frequency ultrasound as diagnostic tool in non-palpable breast nodules (NPBN). We selected 121 women with NPBN revealed by ultrasound (US). The size of the nodules varied from 3 mm to 32 mm. Women with NPBN detected by US underwent sonographically-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) and/or histological examination. Based on the US examination findings, the disease was diagnosed as malignant in 6 cases, as benign in 90, and in 28 cases it was unclassified. 15 patients underwent surgery. In 8, the disease was histopathologically confirmed as carcinoma (US 2 unclassified), 7 were benign lesions. US with FNAB as tool in diagnosing NPBN is an accurate technique for distinguishing between benign and malignant NPBN observable sonographically.
