“…The common histopathological features show groups of interlacing bundles of spindle-shaped cells with vesicular nuclei and eosinophilic cytoplasm, with no or infrequent mitosis [3]. Finally, immunohistochemical staining for this condition indicates positivity for vimentin, desmin and smooth muscle actin [1,4]. Mammography, histopathological and immunohistochemical findings of the 27-year-old patient match with the above-mentioned facts of leiomyomas.…”

“…Diaz-Arias et al have proposed five different theories for its cause [4]. Generally, the patients experience slowl-growing painless lumps, and on examination through mammogram these intraparenchymal leiomyoma lesions show well-defined margins [1,4] that appear homogeneous and highly dense, with the absence of microcalcification, architectural distortion, skin thickening or nipple retraction [5]. The common histopathological features show groups of interlacing bundles of spindle-shaped cells with vesicular nuclei and eosinophilic cytoplasm, with no or infrequent mitosis [3].…”

“…Intraparenchymal leiomyoma of the breast is one of the rarest benign non-epithelial tumors [1]. This benign smooth muscle neoplasm of the breast has been reported only in 22 cases, in women between their fifth and seventh decades of their lives [2], after Strong et al initially described it in their book Leiomyoma of the Breast in 1913 [3].…”

We report the case of a 27-year-old female with intraparenchymal leiomyoma of the breast. This case is interesting not only because intraparenchymal leiomyoma of the breast is a rare benign non-epithelial tumor, but also because it is never found in women at such an early age. We explain all the aspects of this case in this report with its radiologic, histopathologic and immunohistochemical findings.

“…6 They also frequently occur near the nipple and this may be related to the abundance of smooth muscle cells around the nipple and areola. 7 To explain the origin of these tumors various theories have been proposed. Kaufman et al suggested that these neoplasms arise from smooth-muscle cells that surround capillaries in the subcutaneous tissues of the breast.…”

Anahtar kelimeler: Leiomiyom, meme, tanı ABSTRACTLeiomyomas are benign smooth muscle neoplasms that are common in the genitourinary and gastrointestinal tracts. They can occur anywhere in the body but are rare in the breast. Here we report a case of leiomyoma in the breast in a 43 years old woman with histological, immüno-histochemical characteristics and review the literature.
