Abstract
NUNES, Rita Claro; SANTOS, Paulo and CALHAZ-JORGE, Carlos. Tubular adenoma of the breast in a 15-year-old girl: case report. Acta Obstet Ginecol Port [online]. 2023, vol.17, n.1, pp.82-84. Epub Mar 31, 2023. ISSN 1646-5830.
Breast tubular adenomas are rare epithelial proliferative tumors. They are diagnosed mainly in young premenopausal women. We describe a case of tubular breast adenoma in a 15-year-old girl. Clinical examination revealed a breast lump with benign clinical characteristics. Imaging studies showed a complex mass with solid and cystic elements. In the absence of typical characteristics of a benign mass, a lumpectomy was performed. Histological findings were suggestive of a tubular breast adenoma. Preoperative diagnosis of breast benign mass is difficult and even the histopathology of a biopsy can be misleading. Surgical excision is necessary to establish a definitive diagnosis.
