Relato de casoResumo O fibroadenoma é a neoplasia benigna mais freqüente da mama feminina e é considerado tumor misto, constituído por quantidades variáveis de tecido conjuntivo e epitelial. A ciclosporina parece ter implicações no desenvolvimento de fibroadenomas mamários em pacientes transplantadas renais em idade reprodutiva. Descrevemos o caso no qual a paciente, em uso terapêutico de ciclosporina A, após transplante renal, apresentou vários nódulos mamários bilaterais na evolução. O exame físico e os achados de imagem sugeriram fibroadenoma, diagnóstico que foi confirmado após biópsias. AbstractFibroadenoma is the most frequent benign neoplasia in the female breast and it is considered a mixed tumor, constituted by variable amounts of connective and epithelial tissue. Cyclosporine A seems to be related with the development of mamary fibroadenomas in patients who underwent kidney transplantation in reproductive age. We reported the case in which the patient, in therapeutic use of cyclosporine A, after kidney transplantation, presented several bilateral lumps. The imaging and palpable findings suggested fibroadenoma, confirmed after biopsy.
