TUBULAR ADENOMA OF THE BREAST: CASE SERIES AND REVIEW OF LITERATURE.

Joseph Mathew, Thammegowda Kemparaj

Abstract :

Introduction: Tubular adenomata are benign, epithelial tumours of the east. They are rare, with the few cases in literature reported in women of the early reproductive age–group.

Case Series: We herein describe a small series of four cases of tubular adenoma, encounteredin women of different age–groupswith conflicting clinical and cyto–radiological findings, precluding definitive preoperative diagnosis.Excision biopsiesof the lumps were undertaken after confirming their benign nature. The final diagnoseswere revealed following histopathological examination.

Discussion:Although uncommon,tubular adenomatashould be differentiated from other benign and malignant east lesions. The final diagnosis often comes as a histological surprise emphasizing the importance of histopathological assessment.Nonetheless, these tumours are neither known to recur post–excision nor dothey undergomalignant transformation. An understanding of their benign nature and the excellent prognosis associated is essential in planning management and reassuring patients regarding favourable long–term outcomes.
