A LUMP IN A MILLION- TUBULAR ADENOMA OF BREAST
Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical and life sciences - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 8
Abstract
Tubular adenomas are rare epithelial tumors of the breast. They are sometimes called “pure adenomas” because they tend not to show excessive epithelial hyperplasia and connective tissue growth. Only a few cases have been reported in the literature, mainly in young women of reproductive age. We hereby describe a case of tubular breast adenoma in a female who presented to us with a gradually enlarging breast lump. Clinically, a fibroadenoma was suspected and surgical excision was done. However, on histopathological examination a diagnosis of tubular adenoma was made. Pre-operative diagnosis is difficult because tubular adenoma is indistinguishable from a fibroadenoma on physical examination and breast imaging. Both radiologic as well as cytologic diagnosis performed prior to an excision biopsy may not be diagnostic. Surgical excision is necessary in order to reach a precise diagnosis and a definitive treatment. Although tubular adenoma is rare, it should always be considered in the differential diagnosis.
