Purpose: to evaluate the histopathologic results of cone specimens of patients undergoing loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) and their relationship with the localization of the lesion. Methods: in a retrospective study, 134 clinical reports of patients with abnormal findings of cervical cytology and/or biopsy undergoing LEEP were reviewed. The colposcopic findings were divided into three groups according to the localization of the lesion. Group I (n = 36): patients with ectocervical lesions and fully visible squamocolumnar junction; Group II (n = 50): patients with lesions at the ectocervix and endocervix, and Group III (n = 48): patients with unsatisfactory colposcopy. Results: the mean age in Group I was 33 years and there were 8.3% positive margins. In Group II the mean age was 39 years, with 36% positive margins. Group III had a mean age of 48 years and presented 29.2% positive margins. The percentage of residual disease was 4.2% in Group I, 31.6% in Group II and 35.5% in Group III. Conclusion: patients with lesions at the endocervical canal showed a higher rate of positive margins. Patients with high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia at the endocervical canal and older than 40 years have a greater chance of showing positive margins and residual disease, therefore requiring stricter cytologic and colposcopic follow-up.

Primary angiosarcoma of the breast is a rare tumor, which appears between 14 and 82 years, with an average of 35 years of age. Its predominant clinical aspect is a painful mass with diffuse increase in the breast and violet or blackened color. Equally to other cases of sarcoma, the medium size of the lesion is approximately 5 cm at the diagnosis. Histologically, it is characterized by the proliferation of endothelial cells that form vascular channels linked to each other infiltrating glandular structures and fatty tissue. Its histological diagnosis is difficult and not always the right diagnosis is immediately established, mainly in the cases of a low malignancy degree, due to limited biopsy material. Because of the difficult diagnosis and aggressivity, it is a neoplasia with ominous prognosis, due to frequent metastasis. In our service, a 18-year-old patient presented with a painful lump which grew quickly. It was biopsied and a hemangioma was diagnosed, a wide excision being indicated. Three months later, she suffered a tumoral relapse, that was biopsied again and mastectomy was indicated, because it was an angiosarcoma with low degree of malignancy. After other relapses, chemotherapy was indicated and later, radiotherapy. During radiotherapy she developed new metastases, and died of pulmonary metastasis.
