It is a tumor associated with frequent local recurrence and metastasis, which can occur several years after the primary lesion. The clinical diagnosis includes cystic lesion or abscess. However, it has a very particular morphologic presentation, which allows ...

Abreu, N; Filipe, J; André, S; Marques, JCOBJECTIVE: To review the imaging features of granular cell tumors of the breast (on mammography, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging), establishing a pathological correlation, in order to familiarize radiologists with this entity and make them aware of the differential diagnoses, other than malignancy, of lesions with spiculated margins. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We reviewed the medical records (from a clin...
COPD and Cardiovascular Disease
André, S; Conde, B; Fragoso, E; Boléo-Tomé, JP; Areias, V; Cardoso, JCOPD is one of the major public health problems in people aged 40 years or above. It is currently the 4th leading cause of death in the world and projected to be the 3rd leading cause of death by 2020. COPD and cardiac comorbidities are frequently associated. They share common risk factors, pathophysiological processes, signs and symptoms, and act synergistically as negative prognostic factors. Cardiac disease ...

The late-onset variant is characterized by a spectrum of phenotypic variation that may range from asymptomatic, to reduced muscle strength and/or diaphragmatic paralysis. Since muscle strength loss is characteristic of several ...
Understanding COPD: a vision on phenotypes, comorbidities and treatment approach.
Fragoso, E; André, S; Boléo-Tomé, JP; Areias, V; Munhá, J; Cardoso, J; GI DPOC-Grupo de Interesse na Doença Pulmonar Obstrutiva CrónicaChronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) phenotypes have become increasingly recognized as important for grouping patients with similar presentation and/or behavior, within the heterogeneity of the disease. The primary aim of identifying phenotypes is to provide patients with the best health care possible, tailoring the therapeutic approach to each patient. However, the identification of specific phenotypes...
