“…The case was diagnosed as a benign fibroepithelial stromal polyp reminiscent of the lesions described in the female genital area. Only one recently published report described a similar clinical presentation in a 35 year old female [5]. However from the brief histological description provided, the lesion does not appear to contain stellate or giant stromal cells and therefore may not be identical to the current case.…”

BackgroundFibroepithelial stromal polyps (FESP) are benign lesions that typically occur in the genital area and are known to represent a diagnostic challenge for pathologists. Not only do they have a spectrum of morphological changes that ranges from bland morphology to rather atypical appearances, but they also share morphological features with a number of benign and malignant lesions.This is a report of a rare presentation of a FESP of the breast.Case presentationWe describe an unusual case of a large polypoid mass arising from the nipple and connected to it by a long pedicle in a female of 45. The lesion comprised spindle and stellate shaped cells with bizarre stromal giant cells. The morphological and immunohistochemical diagnostic features are provided together with a discussion of possible mimics.ConclusionFESPs may occur in the female breast. It is important to differentiate the lesion from other benign and malignant spindle cell lesions particularly metaplastic carcinoma.

Introduction: Polyp of breast nipple is a rare benign tumor which is pedunculated. The typical polypoid appearance makes the clinical diagnosis apparent. The breast nipple polyp in woman are generally small in size. Giant size fibroepithelial polyp are very rare. Case Report: This is case report of a large size fibroepithelial polyp arising from nipple of left breast in 40-year-old woman. This polyp was more than 10 cm size in length having a long pedicle. This polyp with its pedicle was excised from nipple. The histopathological diagnosis was consistent with fibroepithelial polyp. Conclusion: The large size fibroepithelial polyp of nipple breast is very rare.

“…They might also occur on female genitalia like vulva as well as male external genitalia like penis and urethra. 4 These tumors on the nipple present as a diagnostic challenge due to the rarity of the location as only 7 cases of FEP of the nipple have been reported in the literature. 5 The differential diagnoses for benign lesions on the nipple includes adnexal polyp, supernumerary nipple, neurofibroma, adenoma, papilloma, wart, leiomyoma and epidermal cyst.…”
