A rare case of bilateral benign phyllode tumor of the breast with fast growth during pregnancy and reaching great dimensions is presented. The patient was submitted to bilateral mastectomy on the 20th week of pregnancy. She had a good postoperative evolution and vaginal delivery occurred on the 40th week, when a healthy boy was born. The clinical and surgical features, the pathologic findings and the evolution of pregnancy are discussed.

Polymastia is a usual problem in Mastology clinics and the possibility of cancer must be taken into consideration, as much as in any other mammary tissue. In the present study the case of a 48-year-old patient, submitted to the excision of the left axillary breast for cosmetic purposes is reported. The histological examination showed an invasive ductal carcinoma with an extensive in situ component. The patient was submitted to a wide excision plus axillary lymphadenectomy and radiation therapy. The frequency, diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of cancer in supernumerary breasts is also reviewed.

Purpose: to study the monoclonal antibody MIB-1 in the normal breast epithelium adjacent to a fibroadenoma in women in the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle treated with tamoxifen. Patients and methods: the proliferative activity of the mammary epithelium adjacent to the fibroadenoma was studied by immunohistochemistry based on immunoexpression of the monoclonal antibody MIB-1. The study was randomized and double blind and was conducted on 44 women with fibroadenomas, divided into 3 groups: A (n = 16; placebo), B (n = 15; tamoxifen, 10 mg), and C (n = 13; tamoxifen, 20 mg). Tamoxifen was administered for 22 days starting on the 2nd day of the menstrual cycle and a biopsy was taken on the 23rd day. Results: the mean percentage of stained nuclei per 1000 cells was 9.2 in group A, 4.5 in group B, and 3.2 in group C. Fisher's test revealed that tamoxifen significantly reduced the immunoexpression of MIB-1 at the doses of 10 and 20 mg compared to the placebo group (p<0.0001), with no significant differences between doses in terms of proliferative activity (p = 0.21). Conclusion: we conclude that tamoxifen significantly reduced the proliferative activity of the mammary epithelium at the doses of 10 and 20 mg/day.
