RESUMEN
The clinical diagnosis of appendicular pathology has an unacceptably high false-positive rate, particularly in premenopausal women. Diagnostic laparoscopy is a significant aid towards accurate diagnosis. Laparoscopic appendicectomy can be safely and economically performed as a logical sequel to diagnostic laparoscopy. We describe our method of safe and cost-effective laparoscopic appendicectomy.

Benign breast tumours with a mixed cartilaginous and epithelial component are distinctly rare as evident from the literature. A case of Mixed Tumour of the breast presenting pre-operatively as a hard mass in a 65 year old male is reported. Histologically, it was composed of a mixture of benign cartilage, myoepithelial cells, tubules and a myxoid stroma in fat. A brief review of cartilage bearing lesions and mixed tumour in the mammary region is discussed.
