Abstract:

Most invasive breast cancers present as focal asymmetries, areas of architectural distortion, or irregular masses with indistinct or spiculated margins. Some present as round or oval masses with circumscribed margins; however, most round or oval masses have microlobulated, indistinct, or spiculated margins and may be associated with characteristic malignant calcifications. This chapter, appearing in the section on circumscribed mass, reviews the key clinical and imaging features, differential diagnosis, and management recommendations for invasive breast cancers, which can present as circumscri

Abstract:

Fibroepithelial lesions account for the overwhelming majority of solid breast masses affecting women younger than age 20. Nearly all present as self-detected or provider-detected palpable masses. All fibroepithelial lesions are composed of stromal (fibrous) and glandular (epithelial) elements and variable histology. Rapidly growing mobile breast masses in girls or female adolescents may represent juvenile fibroadenomas, which have different but benign histological features when compared to typical fibroadenomas. Benign phyllodes tumors closely resemble usual fibroadenomas and juvenile fibroade

This chapter, appearing in the section on circumscribed mass, reviews the key clinical and imaging features, differential diagnosis, and management recommendations for intramammary lymph nodes. Benign intramammary lymph nodes are ubiquitous on screening mammography, and whenever it is possible to do so, they should be differentiated from solid masses in order to avoid unnecessary recalls for diagnostic imaging. Three-dimensional tomosynthesis can facilitate the diagnosis of benign intramammary lymph nodes and decrease the number of recalls for supplemental breast imaging. Ultrasound may help i

Abstract:

MRI-guided breast biopsy techniques were developed to sample indeterminate and suspicious breast lesions visible only on MRI. Breast MRI performed for high-risk screening, problem solving, or assessment of extent of disease in patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer may demonstrate indeterminate findings, such as enhancing foci, masses or non-mass enhancement. If the lesion is not visible by mammography or ultrasound, and MRI follow-up is not appropriate, then MRI-guided biopsy is indicated.

A fibroadenoma is a benign fibroepithelial breast tumor arising from the terminal duct-lobular unit (TDLU), composed of epithelial and stromal elements. The overwhelming majority of fibroadenomas present as palpable or imaging-detected circumscribed masses showing sharp demarcation between the lesion and the adjacent breast tissue. Fibroadenomas are the most common benign breast tumor occurring in women, with a peak incidence in the third and fourth decades, but they can occur from childhood through the eight decade of life.

Timely and accurate diagnosis of a mass in the lactating patient requires comprehensive understanding of the indicated imaging workup. During lactation it is not uncommon for patients to present with a palpable mass that requires evaluation. In patients with a palpable abnormality, diagnostic evaluation should not be delayed due to pregnancy or lactation. In addition, a mass that requires further evaluation may be identified at the time of screening mammography in lactating patients.

The breast ultrasound (US) finding known as “complex mass” has undergone a labeling revision with the fifth edition of the BI-RADS Atlas and is now designated as complex cystic and solid mass (CCSM).

The majority of fat-containing masses are asymptomatic, but can present as painless, soft, mobile masses. A fat-containing mass within the breast is a benign finding, with the exception of the rare liposarcoma. The differential in non-lactating woman includes a lipoma, hamartoma, lymph node, and fat necrosis. Any atypical presentation of a fat-containing mass (such as thick, nodular septation or capsule, large size >10 cm, a mass that is clinically increasing in size) should raise suspicion for a rare fat-containing tumor such as an atypical lipomatous tumor or well-differentiated liposarco

Abstract:

Skin lesions are commonly seen on breast imaging. Often, a raised skin lesion is encountered incidentally during screening mammography and can be mistaken for a mass within the breast parenchyma. In most cases, lesions confined within the dermis are benign. Occasionally, focal skin involvement may be the presenting sign of a breast cancer that is either locally extensive to the skin or has an inflammatory component.

An architectural distortion (AD) is an alteration of the breast parenchyma, which results in radiating lines or spicules emanating from a point without a distinct mass. It can occur as the primary finding, or it may be an associated feature of a mass, asymmetry, or calcifications. AD is a mammographic finding with a high positive predictive value for malignancy and is a major cause of false-negative screening exams.

The unpopularity of Master Tara Singh’s idea of a Sikh homeland was reflected in the elections of 1967 when his candidates won only two seats. Master Tara Singh denounced the United Front ministry of the Akalis for shielding Sant Fateh Singh who was keen on preserving the firepit (havan kund) as a symbol of his willingness to sacrifice his life for the Sikh Panth. By contrast, Master Tara Singh praised the deliberate self-immolation of Bhai Nand Singh as genuine martyrdom.

The years between 1880 and 1930 have been characterized not only as "Hell with the lid taken off" but also as a consumer revolution.

This article examines what Americans were eating in the first half of the twentieth century. It first defines industrial foods as foods that are mass produced in a factory setting and require no or very little cooking to make them edible. These foods are also packaged which make them highly portable. Examples of industrial foods are commercia

Changes in the American religious landscape enabled the rise of mass incarceration. Religious ideas and practices also offer a key for ending mass incarceration. These are the bold claims advanced in Break Every Yoke, the joint work of two activist-scholars of American religion. Once, in an era not too long past, Americans, both incarcerated and free, spoke a language of social liberation animated by religion. In the era of mass incarceration, we have largely forgotten how to dream—and organize—this way. To end mass incarceration we must reclaim this lost tradition. Properly conceived, the mov

The authors of this chapter hypothesized that a way of counting (atomicity) is necessary for object and event representations, unlike for substance or process representations.

On the one hand, this book reveals Pessoa’s serious knowledge of philosophy and playful philosophical explorations and how he has the gift of synthesizing, appropriating, and subverting complex ideas into his art; and, on the other hand, the chapters shed new light on central aspects and problems of philosophy through the prism of Pessoa’s diverse writings. The volume includes sixteen new essays from an international group of scholars, analyzing Pessoa’s multifacete

Abstract:

Robert Scholes and Clifford Wulfman define modernism and modernity this way: “Modernity is a social condition. Modernism was a response to that condition.” Modernity “is an urban condition” “reached in certain parts of the world in the late nineteenth century … a mass phenomenon” characterized by the rise of technology, print culture, and material consumption. Jack London, who is routinely categorized as a naturalist and realist, can also be called a modernist. The word modern appears often in the pages of this handbook, and though it is not new to call London a modernist, the breadth of schol

Abstract:

This book is a highly original contribution to our understanding of Shakespeare’s plays in two ways. First, it breaks important new ground in introducing readers, lay and scholarly alike, to the existence and character of the political culture of the mass of ordinary commoners in Shakespeare’s England, as revealed by the recent findings of ‘the new social history’. Demonstrating the vibrant, critical, and philosophically dissident politics of plebeians in the Tudor period, the volume thereby helps challenge the traditional myths of a non-political commons and a culture of obedience. Second, it

Abstract:

Was modern primitivism complicit with the ideologies of colonialism, or was it a multivalent encounter with difference? Examining race and modernism through a wider and more historically contextualized study, Sweeney brings together a variety of published and new scholarship to expand the discussion on the links between modernism and primitivism. Tracing the path from Dada and Surrealism to Josephine Baker and Nancy Cunard's Negro: An Anthology, she shows the development of négrophilie from the interest in black cultural forms in the early 1920s to a more serious engagement with difference and
