RESUMEN
Anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL) is a rare T-cell lymphoma typically seen in children and young adults. It has been described in numerous sites; however, the breast is one of the least common locations. We herein report a case of ALCL arising in the breast of a 36-yr-old pregnant woman. To our knowledge this is the second such case in the English literature. We would like to highlight the cytologic and histologic features of ALCL, as this case was initially misdiagnosed as a ductal carcinoma. Differential diagnosis with other tumors is also discussed. This case serves to emphasize the importance of the triple test, and the need for correlation of fine-needle aspiration findings with core biopsy findings in breast tumor management.

Pleomorphic adenoma of the breast is a rare, benign tumor accounting for 68 cases in the literature. It is most commonly seen in postmenopausal women and is characterized by an admixture of epithelial and myoepithelial cells embedded in abundant myxomatous stroma. Its clinical and histologic appearance can be challenging and may lead to a misdiagnosis of invasive carcinoma. We report a case of mammary pleomorphic adenoma in an asymptomatic 59-year-old woman and briefly discuss its distinction from mucinous carcinoma through the use of special stains.

The case of a 25-year-old woman with recurring and metastasizing clear cell sarcoma of soft parts (CCS) is presented. The clinical setting and pathological appearance were in agreement with the original cases described. This report serves to highlight the clinico-pathological features of this rare and aggressive malignancy with specific reference to prognostic markers and treatment.

Pulmonary barotrauma is a well-known but rarely seen complication of mechanical intermittent positive pressure ventilation. It is thought to be related to raised pressures within alveoli which lead to their eventual rupture and the subsequent development of respiratory embarrassment. Mishaps related to faulty one-way valves in the self-inflating, bag-ventilation devices commonly used in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) can, although rarely, lead to severe barotrauma. In this report, we describe a case of pulmonary barotrauma that appeared to be related to the "locking" of the "Ambu" bag's one-way valve in the inspiratory position during routine CPR.(Au)
