Paracoccidioidomycosis is an important systemic endemic mycosis in Latin America. This infection is usually acquired via inhalation of mycelial particles. Most infected subjects develop an asymptomatic infection, which is associated with various host-related factors such as sex, age, genetic, as well as characteristics of the infecting agent, mainly its virulence. It is a systemic pathology. A case of mastitis due to paracoccidioidomycosis is presented with the objective to demonstrate that elderly patients with a breast abscess should be submitted to biopsy.

We report a malignant case of breast neoplasm, with the diagnosis of leiomyosarcoma. This rare neoplasm has a less aggressive biological behavior than the other types of breast sarcomas. That is the reason why we emphasize the correct diagnosis, and the necessity of graduating the neoplasm, for the patient's best follow-up. In our case, after 2 years of follow-up the patient continued with no relapse of the disease.

Brenner's tumor is small, unilateral and benign. Its diagnosis can only be confirmed by the anatomomicopathological examination, that on microscopy presents nests or columns of transition epithelial cells in a fibromatous matrix. The epithelial cells present a characteristic longitudinal "coffee bean" furrow and can undergo carcinomatous transformation. We present a case of a menopausal patient with vaginal bleeding, and a palpable abdominal mass. She was submitted to surgical treatment (total hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy and omentectomy) with the histopathological diagnosis of Brenner's bilateral tumor, being malignant on one side and benign on the other. After surgical treatment she is now alive for three years and free of disease.
