“…7 It occurs most frequently in women aged 40-50 years of age, 8,9 but has also been seen in younger women (average 38.4 years old) in Japan. 10 The most common clinical manifestations are bloody or serous discharge and erosion or ulceration, in addition to a palpable tumor below the nipple, although our case showed only a palpable tumor. 1 The presentation of Paget's disease is similar, and therefore it is important to distinguish adenoma of the nipple from Paget's disease.…”

A woman in her 50s was referred to our hospital for an investigation of a right breast tumor. The tumor was palpated below the nipple, but there was no erosion or nipple discharge. Mammography showed a well-defined high-density tumor, measuring 2 cm in diameter, without calcification, and ultrasonography showed a low-echoic mass with a fluid component with posterior echo enhancement and a lateral shadow. Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (CE-MRI) demonstrated a 1.3 × 0.8 cm solid component and a gradually increasing time-intensity curve. We performed lumpectomy and the pathological findings were adenoma of the nipple. The pattern of the time-intensity curve might be attributed to moderate fibrosis of the tumor. Contrast-enhanced MRI is therefore considered to be very useful in the diagnosis of breast disease because it can show the nature and extent of the breast lesion; however, we should be aware that various patterns have been observed on CE-MRI for adenoma of the nipple.

“…These tumors most commonly arise in patients in their 40 s and 50 s, but there are reports of nipple adenomas occurring in children in their 10 s and in elderly patients in their 70 s [ 1 ]. In Japan, Sakumoto et al reported 34 cases in 1996 [ 2 ], Sugamata et al reported 31 cases in 2002 [ 3 ], and Uchida et al reported 60 cases in 2010 [ 4 ]. The most common reason for detection was a mass or induration (66%), followed by erosions or ulcers (48%) and nipple discharge (35%) [ 5 – 7 ].…”

“…The most common reason for detection was a mass or induration (66%), followed by erosions or ulcers (48%) and nipple discharge (35%) [ 5 – 7 ]. In reports from Western countries, nipple discharge is common, but in Japan, erosions tend to occur more frequently, sometimes making differential diagnosis from Paget’s disease difficult [ 2 , 17 ]. The size of nipple adenomas reported in Japan ranged from 0.5 to 24 mm (median, 10 mm).…”

Background Nipple adenoma is a relatively rare benign disease. Clinically, it often presents with nipple erosions, and it should be differentiated from Paget’s disease. Case presentation The patient was a 63-year-old woman who complained of a lump in her left nipple for more than 30 years. Computed tomography performed for screening congestive heart failure suggested a left nipple mass of 40 mm in size. Needle biopsy revealed nipple adenoma, and skin biopsy was also performed to confirm the diagnosis. Nipple tumor resection was performed under local anesthesia, and we confirmed that the final diagnosis was nipple adenoma with negative margins. The patient has been free from recurrence for 2 years since the surgery. Conclusions We have reported our experience of a case of giant nipple adenoma.
