Abstract OBJECTIVE: To determine the frequency and clinicopathological findings of Mucinous carcinoma of the breast. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Retrospective, observational, descriptive and transversal study. Analyzed the clinical records of patients whose surgical samples were referred to the pathology Department of the Hospital of Gynecology Luis Castelazo Ayala with the diagnosis of Mucinous carcinoma of the breast, during the 01 of January 2009 to the December 31, 2016. Inclusion criteria all cases of Mucinous carcinoma of the breast and the exclusion of those who did not have record of biopsy or absence of histological report, carcinoma of the breast associated with another different histological type. RESULTS: 64 cases with invasive Mucinous carcinoma of the breast between 2009 and 2016 were reported. The average age was 61.9 years (32 to 95 limits). We identified 10/64 patients aged 66 to 70 years and 8/64 in the 41 to 45 years. There were 49/64 Mucinous carcinoma of pure and 15/64 mixed carcinoma, of which 9/15 corresponded to the histological type of ductal, Lobular type 1/15, 3/15 ductolobulillar and other histological Variant 2/15. CONCLUSIONS: Mucinous carcinoma is a rare variant of the invasive carcinoma of the breast duct that occurs in older women. It is possible to have a diagnosis and treatment using mammography and histopathological confirmation.

Resumen OBJETIVO: Determinar la frecuencia y los hallazgos clínico-patológicos del carcinoma mucinoso de la mama. MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: Estudio retrospectivo, observacional, descriptivo y transversal consistente en el análisis de los expedientes clínicos de pacientes atendidas en el Hospital de Ginecología Luis Castelazo Ayala entre el 1 de enero de 2009 y el 31 de diciembre 2016 con muestras quirúrgicas referidas por el servicio de Anatomía patológica con diagnóstico de carcinoma mucinoso de la mama. Criterios de inclusión: casos de carcinoma mucinoso de la mama. Criterios de exclusión: ausencia de registro de biopsia o de reporte histológico, carcinoma de la mama asociado con otro tipo histológico distinto. RESULTADOS: Se encontraron 64 casos de carcinoma mucinoso invasor de la mama. Promedio de edad: 61.9 años (límites 32 y 95). Diez pacientes se ubicaron en el grupo de 66 a 70 años y 8 en el de 41 a 45 años. Se registraron 49 casos de carcinoma mucinoso puro y 15 de carcinoma mixto, de éstos 9 correspondieron al tipo histológico ductal, 1 al tipo lobulillar, 3 al ductolobulillar y 2 de otra variante histológica. CONCLUSIONES: El carcinoma mucinoso es una variante rara del carcinoma invasivo del conducto mamario que aparece en mujeres de edad avanzada. El diagnóstico y el tratamiento oportuno son posibles mediante mamografía y confirmación histopatológica.

When glyphosate is added to the soil, it is absorbed by roots and transported by xylem causing growth inhibition in plants. Mycorrhiza is the beneficial association between roots of most plants and soil fungi. The methylphosphonic group of the glyphosate could compete with inorganic phosphates for sorption sites in the soil. The aim of this work was to study the effect of phosphorus availability and glyphosate residues in soil on pepper plant growth, and on physiological parameters, in plants non-inoculated or inoculated with Glomus mosseae or G. intraradices. The phytotoxic effects of the glyphosate were assessed by a bio-indicator as shikimic acid. At high doses, glyphosate (6.32 μM) reduced root colonization, and this effect was increased by higher levels of phosphorus in the soil. The effects of herbicide on shikimic acid accumulation and on shoot growth began 24 hours after glyphosate treatments (HAT). At 24, 48, and 72 HAT, inoculated plants grown without glyphosate showed higher growth compared to the non-inoculated ones. At high glyphosate (6.32 μM) and 96 HAT, the growth was completely inhibited. The shikimic acid accumulated in the upper leaves of non-inoculated plants, treated at 3.16 μM glyphosate, was significantly higher at high P level, related to inoculated ones. These results suggest that the remobilization of glyphosate residues in the soil by the addition of phosphate should be considered a serious problem for crops in treated soils. The mycorrhization increases the pepper plant's tolerance to high glyphosate concentration in the substrate, and may allow support to this stress condition.
