It’s the last week of #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth!
Let’s reinforce our knowledge about breast cancer using evidence published in the @AfricanSurgery. Today we start with presentation.
Most breast cancers present with a lump. Other common presentations are shown on attached photo
By the time she was seen, breast tissue was absent, the skin around the areola was ulcerated and thickened, and fluid had collected around her lung. Biopsy confirmed grade III infiltrating ductal carcinoma. She was treated and referred for further therapy.
Takeaway: Breast cancer does not always announce itself with a lump. Any unexplained breast change; size, shape, skin, nipple, or a persistent ulcer; deserves clinical assessment.

A post-trauma scrotal mass in a 60-year-old man was primary testicular DLBCL—rare and aggressive. LDH + imaging raised suspicion; orchiectomy & IHC confirmed it. Suspect early, confirm, treat promptly.

A 7yr audit of @AfricanSurgery review data showed reviewer acceptance improved after 2019, while quality scores stayed broadly stable; pointing to where support is now eeded.

When do rising inflammatory markers trump reassuring imaging in acute cholecystitis?
72yo M, CRP 270, US no perforation—surgery found sealed fundal perforation. Rising markers + symptoms warrant timely surgery.

About 1 in 13 appendectomies showed NO appendicitis in this 5-yr audit.
Women 12% vs men 5.15%.
CT + U/S together? 91.6% accuracy.
Are we over-operating or under-imaging?

What's the future of endourology across Africa?
A Nigerian study in @AfricanSurgery shows 63% do cystoscopy alone, yet only 3% do TURBT/URS.
Same barriers? Funding, equipment. Solutions; simulation, regional placements, and govt investment.

Even HCWs face screening barriers; navigation bridges the gap.

Rural Africa needs surgeons. Kenya found a way.
Decentralized training through @cosecsa + policy wins = more surgeons where they're needed.

What if a 'malignant' groin lump wasn't cancer?
65yo male with necrotic nodes suggesting malignancy, but histology revealed actinomycosis; treated with antibiotics, no surgery needed. Think beyond imaging. Read the case at : annalsofafricansurgery.com/i…
