RESUMO
Myxomas are benign mesenchymal tumors, which rarely develop in the breast. Histologically, stellate, round, and spindle-shaped cells with vesicular nuclei and scant cytoplasm are scattered in the myxoid stroma. We present a case of this rare type of breast tumor with sonographic and mammographic findings.

Laryngeal web is a rare lesion resulting from incomplete recanalization of the primitive larynx. Because the extent of airway involvement affects surgical management, patients should be studied thoroughly before treatment. Although the diagnosis is based on the endoscopy findings in most of the cases, laryngoscopy may fail to show the subglottic extension of the disease. Virtual endoscopy may provide the information needed for surgery in such cases. Here, we report the computed tomography and virtual endoscopy findings in a 5-year-old child with a laryngeal web.

A 62-year-old woman being treated for stage IIIC rectal adenocarcinoma was diagnosed with primary non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the breast after a 4-year follow-up. This case illustrates the importance of close and long-term follow-up as well as of differential diagnostic procedures for second primary malignancies after the initial diagnosis and treatment of a solid tumor.
