Ultrasound imaging of the axilla
Axilla is a pyramidal-in-shape “virtual cavity” housing multiple anatomical structures and connecting the upper limb with the trunk. To the best of our knowledge, in the pertinent literature, a detailed sonographic protocol to comprehensively assess the ...

Malignant Hidradenocarcinoma of the Axilla [PDF]
Malignant hidradenocarcinoma is a very rare and highly aggressive primary skin neoplasm that arises in the eccrine sweat glands. Diagnosis is typically made with histopathological evaluation after excisional biopsy.

Giant acrochordon of the axilla [PDF]
Acrochordons or fibroepithelial polyps, are very common skin lesions. However, giant acrochordons are extremely rare. We present a case of a morbidly obese diabetic man who was treated with primary excision of a giant 18 cm acrochordon of the left axilla.

Current Management of the Axilla. [PDF]
Despite advances in estimating prognosis and predicting response to adjuvant systemic therapy, the status of the axillary lymph nodes remains a critical component in initial surgical planning and in determining therapeutic strategies for patients with breast cancer.

A practical approach to imaging the axilla [PDF]
Imaging of the axilla typically occurs when patients present with axillary symptoms or newly diagnosed breast cancer. An awareness of the axillary anatomy is essential in order to generate an accurate differential diagnosis and guide patient management ...

Importance Several less-invasive staging procedures have been proposed to replace axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in patients with initially clinically node-positive (cN+) breast cancer, but these procedures may

Sebaceous carcinoma of the axilla [PDF]
AbstractSebaceous carcinoma is a rare cutaneous malignant neoplasm with an estimated incidence rate of approximately 1–2 per 1 000 000 per year. It rarely presents as an extra-ocular type and it affects patients in between the sixth and eighth decades of life.

For many decades, the standard procedure to treat breast cancer included complete dissection of the axillary lymph nodes. The aim was to determine histological node status, which was then used as the basis for adjuvant therapy, and to ensure locoregional

Staging of the Axilla in Breast Cancer and the Evolving Role of Axillary Ultrasound
Axillary lymph nodes have long been recognized as a route for breast cancer to spread systemically. As a result, staging of the axilla has always played a central role in the treatment of breast cancer.
