Abstract :

Tubular adenomas are rare epithelial tumors of the east accounting for 0.13 – 1.7% of benign east lesions. They mainly occur in young women of reproductive age group and must be differentiated from other benign lesions and from malignant east cancer. We present a case of tubular adenoma in a 20 year old female who presented with a gradually enlarging lump in the left east. Clinical and radiological examination revealed a well circumscribed lump suggestive of fioadenoma. The lump was excised and was histologically diagnosed as tubular adenoma. We conclude that preoperative diagnosis is difficult because tubular adenoma is indistinguishable from a fioadenoma on physical examination and east imaging and surgical excision is necessary to establish a definitive diagnosis
