Tubular adenoma of the breast: a rare presentation and review of the literature
Journal of clinical medicine research, 2012
Tubular adenomas, also known as pure adenomas, are rare epithelial tumors of the breast. Only a few cases have been reported in the literature, especially in young women of reproductive age. Postmenopausal women are very rarely affected. We describe here a very rare case of tubular breast adenoma in a postmenopausal woman who presented with a gradually enlarging breast lump. Clinical examination and imaging studies revealed a non-tender well circumscribed left breast tumor suggestive of a fibroadenoma. Due to the history of progressive enlargement of the breast lump, a surgical excision was performed. Histological findings were suggestive of a tubular breast adenoma. We conclude that although tubular breast adenoma is rare, it should always be considered in the differential diagnosis in postmenopausal patients presenting with a gradually enlarging breast mass. Preoperative diagnosis is difficult because tubular adenoma is indistinguishable from a fibroadenoma on physical examination...
Tubular Adenoma of the Breast: A Case Report
https://www.ijhsr.org/IJHSR\_Vol.10\_Issue.12\_Dec2020/IJHSR\_Abstract.014.html, 2020
Tubular adenoma of the breast is one of the rare benign tumours, comprising around 0.13% to 1.7% of all benign breast tumours. Microscopically these tumours showing typical pattern of proliferating round and uniform tubules lined by regular epithelial cells surrounded by myoepithelial cells, packed in a small amount of stroma. The radiologic features are often dilemmatic and only the histopathologic analysis can achieve the definitive diagnosis of this tumour by excluding all possible differential diagnoses. Present article highlights the histopathologic and some useful immuno-histochemical features of tubular adenoma of breast.
Preoperative diagnosis of tubular adenoma of breast - 10 years of experience
North American Journal of Medical Sciences, 2014
Background: Tubular adenomas are rare benign neoplasms of female breast affecting women, predominantly of child-bearing age group. Defi nitive diagnosis of this tumor is usually achieved after histopathological study. Clinical, radiological, and even cytological features are often insuffi cient for accurate diagnosis. Aim: The aim of the present study was planned to analyze clinical and radiological features of histologically confi rmed cases of tubular adenoma of breast to fi nd out a clue for accurate preoperative cytological diagnosis. Materials and Methods: In our 10-year research program, all histologically confi rmed tubular adenoma cases of breast were studied. Clinico-radio-cytological features, if available, were analyzed and tabulated. Results: Thirty-three cases of tubular adenoma of breast were studied. Radiological and cytological assessments are available for 12 and 26 cases, respectively. Tubular adenoma could be diagnosed in only two cases (7.7%) by cytological assessment, but in none by radiological assessment. Conclusions: Clinico-cytoradiological assessment could identify the benign nature of the tumors in most cases, but fi nal confi rmation was possible only after histopathological study.
Tubular Adenoma of the Breast in an 84-Year-Old Woman: Report of a Case Simulating Breast Cancer
The Breast Journal, 2006
Tubular adenomas of the breast are rare and they mainly occur in young women. They must be differentiated from other benign lesions and from malignant breast cancer. Preoperative diagnosis is difficult because both radiologic and cytohistologic examinations performed before surgery are often not diagnostic; therefore, in most cases, surgical excision is the only way to reach a precise diagnosis and a definitive treatment. This article describes a case of an 84-year-old woman suffering from tubular adenoma of the breast. The authors underline the difficulty in preoperative differentiation between benign and malignant breast lesions.

Background & Objectives: Tubular adenomas are rare benign epithelial tumours of breast affecting predominantly females of child bearing age group. Till now, very small number of cases havebeen reported in the literature.Present study was carried out to evaluate the clinico-pathological fea-tures of tubular adenoma cases diagnosed during three years study period along with discussion of possible differential diagnoses. Methods: Overall, 346 female breast biopsies were diagnosed as benign lesions in three years (2010-2012), of which 10 cases of tubular adenomas were identified. Available clinical, radiological and cytological data of these cases were analysed retrospectively in detail. Result:Tubular adenomas were identified from 16 to 48 years of age with a predilection to younger age group (60 % within 30 years). Most of the tubular adenomas were small and circumscribed mimicking fibroadenoma in almost all the cases. Diagnosis of tubular adenoma in each case was possible only after ...
Tubular Adenoma of the Breast Mimicking Fibroadenoma
Cureus
Tubular adenomas of the breast are rare benign epithelial neoplasms and not many cases have been reported. Predominantly, the tumor is described as a palpable, well-circumscribed mass. Most often confused with fibroadenomas clinically and radiologically. Surgical excision is mandatory for diagnosis and to prevent the growth of the mass. Here, we presented a case of these rare tumors. Our case describes a large mass measuring 4.5 × 2.0 × 3.7 cm with tubular adenoma pathology. We elected to document this case to aid in the management of this rare neoplasm. Our aim is to allow physicians to get better identification and treatment for such tumors and improve the outcome for the patients.
Tubular Adenoma with Concurrent Fibroadenoma of the Breast: A Rare Case Report.
IOSR Journals , 2019
Tubular adenomas are rare benign epithelial tumors of the breast accounting for only 0.13% to 1.7% of all benign breast lesions. Preoperative diagnosis is often difficult as they mimic fibroadenomas both clinically as well asradiologically. Histopathological examination is necessary for correct diagnosis.We describe a case of a breast lump in young femalewhich was diagnosed as fibroadenoma clinically as well as on FNAC. Surgical excision was done and on histopathological examination a diagnosis of tubular adenoma with a concurrent fibroadenoma was made. The development of tubular adenoma alongwithfibroadenoma in the same breast concurrently as seen in our case is a very rare occurrence.
A case report of the breast tubular adenoma in the perimenopausal age group
2021
Tubular adenoma is a rare benign breast tumor that makes up 1.7% of all breast tumors. Clinically and radiologically, it cannot be distinguished from fibroadenomas. It is rarely seen after 40 years of age. It usually presents in the form of painless masses, and preoperative radiological and pathological diagnosis is challenging. We herein present a case of tubular adenoma diagnosed at the age of 46 years with clinical, radiological, and histopathological examinations. The patient presented with atypical features, and a doppler ultrasonography signal was observed. The diagnosis was made via tru-cut biopsy.
