Leiomyosarcoma of the prostate is a rare tumor with no established protocol of treatment in the literature. We report a case with peculiar clinical presentation and androgen receptor content supporting the origin of the tumor. The potential advantage of hormonal manipulation during progression of the disease is suggested.
A case of secretory or juvenile carcinoma of the breast is reported in a 16 year old girl. A wide local excision was performed and no recurrence or lymph node metastases were detected at follow-up. This uncommon variety of breast tumor can also occur in adults. Most reports stress the low degree of malignancy with a slow rate of growth and a minimal risk of metastatic spread. Because of the limited number of cases reported, the initial treatment of choice is debatable. Consequently we suggest that the treatment of such a lesion should be individualized.

The authors report a case of angiosarcoma of the breast. The patient, a 44-year-old woman, remains free of disease 7 years after biopsy and 6 years after a simple mastectomy. The authors emphasize the benign appearance of the tumour and the importance of early detection and adequate surgical treatment.
