Background. Juvenile papillomatosis is a proliferative epithelial lesion of the female breast, and Rosen et al. introduced it in 1980 as an entity.
Results. The authors present a case consistent with juvenile papillomatosis of the male breast, occurring in a 33‐year‐old man, who had noticed a swelling of his right breast for approximately 17 years. On review of the literature regarding epithelial proliferations of the male breast, the authors found three cases with similar histologic features.
Conclusions. The case studied indicates a benign behavior of this lesion in the male breast, although no data concerning long‐term prognosis are available.
BackgroundSilent myocardial infarction relates to the absence of symptoms usually associated with myocardial ischemia. It has been estimated that silent myocardial infarction can occur in 2–4 % of young adult asymptomatic men. A majority of patients without an initially apparent cause of sudden death have been found at autopsy to have had significant coronary heart disease, including old, undetected myocardial infarction. Cases of sudden death in young men with unrecognized silent myocardial ischemia seem to be underreported, however.Case presentationA 35-year-old Norwegian man without a previous medical history died suddenly without preceding symptoms of coronary ischemia. Apart from elevated lactate, his laboratory test results were within normal limits. An autopsy revealed advanced coronary artery thrombosis of the left anterior descending branch with an extensive, partly organized myocardial infarction. The results of toxicological examinations of peripheral blood were negative for usual narcotics and alcohol.ConclusionsSudden, unexpected death due to myocardial infarction can occur even at a young age in patients without known coronary heart disease.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
