ABSTRACT
Breast cancer is extremely rare in children, and consequently no consensus has been reached on the optimal treatment modalities. The medical history and treatment plan for a 7.5-year old male breast cancer patient is described. Radical mastectomy with sentinel node biopsy was performed in October 2002. As no malignant cells were detected in the sentinel node, and no BRCA1-2 mutations were detected, no further radio- or chemotherapy was performed. A "wait-and-see" policy was decided on. Further treatment will be given if this becomes necessary with the development of metastases.

PIP: The authors describe genital actinomycosis in 5 women using the IUD. They call attention to the relationship between the IUD and actinomycosis. They think it necessary to examine tissues and fluids adhering to the IUD coil upon removal. And they recommend that this be supplemented by regular cytological examination of the coil, with this data being associated with data from screening.^ieng
