“…Tubular adenoma, a rare breast tumor, is a subclass of breast tumors similar to pericanalicular fibroadenoma. Radiological findings resemble those of fibroadenomas [6]. It is a homogeneous, iso or hypo-echogenic mass lesion with a uniform margin [7].…”

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.

“…1,5 In order to distinguish tubular adenoma from other classes histopathologic examination must be performed which will reveal small amount of stroma with tubular and acinar epilthelial components. 6,7 Tubular adenoma usually presents clinically as painless breast lump similar to fibroadenoma or asymptomatic mass detected by physical examination or imaging. 1,3,7 Typically, tumors are firm, homogeneous, and well circumscribed and has a yellowish to tan-brown cut surface.…”

We present a case of a young woman, with no known comorbidities, who presented with bilateral breasts lumps noted 6 months prior to her initial clinic visit. On examination, both breast masses were felt bilaterally. The masses were completely excised, and histopathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of breast tubular adenoma. This report aimed to present a rare benign breast neoplasm and discuss the challenges in the diagnosis and management of such condition.

“…Tubular adenomas (TAs) of the breast are rare, benign lesions that are considered to share a common histogenesis with fibroadenoma and lactating adenoma [1][2]. They comprise approximately 0.13%-1.7% of all benign breast tumors, and only a few cases have been reported in the literature [3][4]. They are pure epithelial neoplasms with homogeneous, tightly packed tubular or acinar components and minimal to no supporting stroma, and usually vary in size from one to five centimeters [5][6][7].…”

“…Physical exam and radiographic findings of TA can be indistinguishable from those of fibroadenomas, and surgical excision is generally required for definitive diagnosis [ 9 - 10 ]. TAs larger than five centimeters are designated “Giant” TAs due to the infrequency of achieving that size [ 3 ]. Most cases are found in women of childbearing age and postmenopausal discovery is particularly unusual [ 9 , 11 ].…”

Tubular adenoma (TA) of the breast is a rare, benign proliferative breast lesion that is predominantly composed of closely compacted tubules with an inner layer of epithelial cells and an outer layer of myoepithelial cells. They are regarded as residing on the opposite end of a spectrum of proliferative breast lesions from fibroadenomas, which are predominantly stromal. The majority of TAs are found in premenopausal women and the reason for this demographic predilection is not yet known. It is generally not possible to distinguish between TA and other, higher-risk breast lesions prior to biopsy or resection because the clinical and radiographic findings overlap. In this article, we present the case of a TA in a postmenopausal patient and review the epidemiology, histology, carcinogenic potential, and management of such lesions.

A Case Report of a Giant Tubular Adenoma With a Concurrent Fibroadenoma of the Breast

Abstract: Tubular adenomas are rare benign epithelial tumors of the breast. Only a handful of cases have been reported in literature. We describe a very rare case of a giant tubular adenoma with a concurrent fibroadenoma in a young woman.
