Abstract
Tubular adenoma is a rare benign epithelial neoplasm occurring mainly
in premenopausal women. Tubular adenoma constitutes about 0.13% to 1.7% among
benign breast tumors. Tumor size typically ranges between 1 to 10 cm and very
rarely exceeds 5 cm. With the rarity of the pathology comes diagnostic
dilemmas, especially due to the identical clinical features when compared with
a fibroadenoma or phyllodes tumor. Tubular adenoma doesn’t have a true capsule
but it is sharply defined. In contrast to fibroadenomas there is a scant
periductal stroma. The differential diagnosis are lactating adenoma, sclerosing
adenosis and microglandular adenosis. Malignancy in association with tubular
adenoma is rare and have been described in only few cases in literature. Here
we present a case of 14 year old adolescent girl with rare occurrence of
combination of tubular adenoma with fibrocystic changes in the same breast.
