Spontaneous Infarction of Fibroadenoma of Breast: Review of Literature And Series of Three Cases
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Fibroadenomas are the most common neoplasms of the breast usually affecting adolescents and young women. Infarction in benign breast lesions is rare and It was first described by Delarue and Redon in 1949. This may occur in various conditions such as pregnancy, lactation, after fine needle aspiration procedure or trauma but Spontaneous infarction of fibroadenomas in the absence of above mentioned causes is exceptionally rare. Herein, we describe a review of fibroadenomas of the breast with two new cases of spontaneous infarction, unrelated to any known risk factor. We conclude that partial spontaneous infarction is a rare event in breast fibroadenomas and may not be associated with any known risk factor. The presence of necrosis on core biopsy or intra-operative frozen section should be cautiously interpreted and is not itself a sign of malignancy.
