“…They include papillomatosis, cyst formation, apocrine metaplasia, sclerosing adenosis and duct ectasia. 48 He labeled it "juvenile papillomatosis", which is now widely recognized as a specific clinicopathologic entity. The presence of florid epithelial changes and extensive cyst formation impart to the lesion a Swiss cheese appearance.…”

“…No such cause is noted in this current case. Ståle Sund et al 2 labelled their case as an example of juvenile papillomatosis; classically this lesion is a rare, benign ductal hyperplasia of adolescents or children, occasionally termed “Swiss cheese disease” and originally described by Rosen et al in 1980 6. Juvenile papillomatosis has been variably linked with breast cancer risk 7.…”
Fibrocystic disease is a common benign finding in the female breast and often presents as a palpable mass. It is much less commonly found in the male breast. A case is reported of a young man with female-type fibrocystic disease associated with papillary hyperplasia in the right breast.
“…the lesion a "Swiss cheese" appearance [31]. Clinically, patients with juvenile papillomatosis present with a firm but mobile well-circumscribed mass that can be mistaken for a fibroadenoma.…”
The majority of breast abnormalities in the pediatric patient are benign, but malignancies do occur. Careful attention to patient presentation, history, and clinical findings will help guide appropriate imaging and therapeutic decisions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
