[Bilateral carcinoma of the breast].

The authors present 20 cases of bilateral breast cancer (2 synchronous) on 700 cases of breast cancer observed in 1974-1992 period. In most cases (17 on 20) the histologic type was the same for both tumours and in 15 cases was invasive ductal. The time interval to second diagnosis went from 24 to 144 months with a mean interval of 44 months. The limited number of cases observed by the Authors doesn't permit conclusions about the prognostic meaning of a second breast cancer but it is clear that the anamnestic evidence of a previous intervention for breast cancer requires careful control also of the contralateral breast.

[The effect of ionizing radiation on the onset of breast carcinoma].

The authors examine the influence of ionogenic radiations on the onset of breast cancer. They remark the connection between the doses of radiations and the incidence of cancer and point out that the danger increases when the women is exposed to radiations during her fertile age. They present five cases of patients suffering from breast cancer where the exposition to radiations may have been a cause of the cancer.

[Gynecomastia].

Gynaecomastia is a benign enlargement of the male breast commonly occurring in healthy adolescent boys and in adults (50 to 80 years old). It is a source of cosmetic and psychologic problems. The secondary forms usually require no therapy other than the removal of any identified inciting cause. Most of the idiopathic forms last only a few months and then gradually disappear. In secondary gynaecomastia and idiopathic forms present for more than 12 months a medical hormonal treatment often fails and the only therapy is surgery consisting in a subtotal subcutaneous mastectomy. In the last years the surgical treatment is often completed with suction lipectomy: this procedure reduces the surgical traumatism. The authors present their experience concerning 47 patients: 27 were surgical treated with subcutaneous subtotal mastectomy and 18 had an abjunctive liposuction treatment with good results.
