ABSTRACT

Turner syndrome (TS) is an abnormality of the X chromosome affecting females. This genetic defect causes infertility in most cases, but less commonly in patients with the mosaic form of Turner syndrome. In the rare event of a pregnancy, it usually leads to maternal and fetal complications, including miscarriage. In this study, we report a case of mosaic Turner syndrome (45,X/46,XX) in a 34-year-old female who presented to our outpatient clinic with a two-year history of secondary infertility following nine previous spontaneous pregnancies (SP). Her obstetric history showed two successful healthy pregnancies, seven first-trimester miscarriages, one intrauterine fetal demise (IUFD), and one infant death at six months of age. Cases of pregnancy in mosaic Turner syndrome patients are limited and have poor pregnancy outcomes; here, we aim for our case to contribute to the improvement of pregnancy outcomes in such patients.

ABSTRACT

Breast abscess in males is a rare condition, which accounts for 1%-3% of all documented breast diseases. Males with certain risk factors may develop a breast abscess. The ultrasonographic, mammographic, and pathological characteristics of this case will be highlighted in the report. A 51-year-old morbidly obese Saudi male who is a 160-pack-years smoker presented to our surgical clinic complaining of a right breast mass that presented a long time ago and was changing in size. The mass was painless until 5 days prior to presentation. On physical examination, a firm nonmobile 3 × 4 cm mass was felt at 10-12-o'clock, 1 cm away from the nipple. A bilateral X-ray mammogram and ultrasound were performed with fine needle aspiration and culture. The mammogram of the right breast showed a well-circumscribed subareolar mass with equal density, and it was also associated with overlying skin thickening and relative breast parenchymal edema. The fine needle aspiration grossly showed yellowish-green turbid content followed by turbid blood. The anaerobic culture results showed the gram-positive cocci, Finegoldia Magna. The patient was then instructed to take an antibiotic accordingly and return after 1 week. Fine needle aspiration and culture were performed again after antibiotics and grossly showed 2-3 cc of pus without any growth in culture. Male breast disorders are typically benign, with gynecomastia being the most prevalent, and malignancy being the most serious despite its rarity. Breast abscesses are a challenging clinical condition, and radiologists have a pivotal role in evaluation and follow-up of these lesions.
