A case report of the breast tubular adenoma in the perimenopausal age group

Abstract

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.
