A review of breast structure and tissue characteristics, as well as the effects of these hormones on breast tissue, is presented. Emphasis is placed on the need to be cognizant of these similarities and breast tissue receptivity to hormones when considering oral contraceptive therapy....
In our case, MRI revealed adjacent breast tissue involvement. Although the tumor initially appeared multifocal radiologically, a histopathology test confirmed its unifocal nature. Surgical management, such as lumpectomy with radiotherapy or mastectomy, often achieves effective control of breast ACC [20]...
