    A case presentation of a 66-year-old woman who was invited for a mammographic examination through the Screening Program for Early Detection of Breast Cancer. Previously, the woman had not undergone regular mammographic screenings. A mammogram was performed, and a spiculated dense mass of 2 cm was found in the upper lateral quadrant of the right breast, involving the surrounding parenchyma, highly suspicious for malignancy. A core biopsy was performed on the hypoechoic lesion of 2 cm in the upper outer quadrant of the right breast, guided by ultrasound. Three cylinders were taken, which were sent for pathohistological evaluation. The result from the pathohistological evaluation corresponds to invasive breast carcinoma of a nonspecific type.

    Introduction. The incidence and prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) has increased worldwide but also in the Republic of Macedonia, Diabetes is a high-ranking a cause of death, primarily as a cause of cardiovascular death. In the United States, 42% of diabetic patients have diabetic nephropathy, with a 20-fold increased risk of cardiovascular mortality. Arterial rigidity is another independent risk factor for CV death, which is a degenerative process of remodeling the large arteries wall. There is increased arterial rigidity in both: diabetic patients and in patients with arterial hypertension, but studies that address these issues do not have consistency in the results, which was our motive for this study. Methods. This was a cross-sectional study that comprised 62 patients with diabetes mellitus type 2, aged over 38 years, followed at the University Clinic for Nephrology for diagnosis of, or already diagnosed hypertension. The control group consisted of 22 healthy subjects who had not been diagnosed with either DM type 2 or arterial hypertension. We examined pulse wave velocity, and analyzed hypertension with data obtained from 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. The obtained data were statistically processed. Results. The results were displayed in tables. Conclusion. Arterial stiffness (measured by PWV) was higher in patients with DM compared to the control group of healthy subjects. In our study HgA1c had impact on PWV which can serve as a tool for assessing CV risk and arterial rigidity. Keywords: diabetes mellitus, arterial hypertension, arterial rigidity, pulse wave velocity
