Breast ultrasonography is useful for the differential diagnosis of breast masses, and several diagnostic criteria to distinguish between benign and malignant breast tumors have already been established and are widely used [ 1 , 2 ]. The depth/width …

Fibroadenomas is a common breast condition among young females, estimated to affect up to 25% of patients and found in up to 50% of all breast biopsies [ 1 , 2 ]. While asymptomatic fibroadenomas can be followed up by surveillance, treatment of …

Phyllodes tumor is a rare neoplasm composed of epithelial and stromal components, with a reported incidence of less than 1.0% of all female breast tumors [ 1 – 3 ]. Whereas all fibroadenomas are considered benign, phyllodes tumors can be …

Fibroadenomas (FA) and phyllodes tumor (PTs) are classified as fibroepithelial lesions of the breast. The histopathological classification of PTs includes a spectrum ranging from benign to malignant. The malignant subtypes of PT can be invasive …

Polymastia is a term that is used to describe the presence of more than two breasts in human beings. It is synonymous with supernumerary or accessory breast tissue. Ectopic breast tissue (EBT) may occur any where along the primitive embryonic milk …

A rare case of invasive ductal carcinoma within a fibroadenoma of the breast in a 42-year-old woman is reported. The patient had a well-defined mass, measuring 6.0 × 5.0 cm, in the upper lateral quadrant of the left breast. Physical examination …

Maffucci's syndrome is a rare congenital non-hereditary condition that was initially described by Angelo Maffucci in 1881. It is characterised by multiple enchondromas and haemangiomas or lymphangiomas, however since the initial description …

Phyllodes tumours and cellular fibroadenomas are both fibroepithelial tumours of the breast. Phyllodes tumours, unlike fibroadenomas, have the ability to recur and metastasise. Although these lesions can be distinguished by their stromal …

A majority of studies have shown an increase in the risk of breast cancer among women previously diagnosed with fibroadenoma (FA). At present there is conflicting evidence whether some of the chromosome abnormalities frequently found in breast …

Spontaneous infarction in fibroadenoma unrelated to any known risk factors is extremely rare. Here, I present a case of a spontaneously infarcted fibroadenoma in an adolescent girl in whom no plausible predisposing factors were identified.

Accessory breast is synonymous with polymastia or supernumerary breast tissue. An accessory breast without a nipple or areola is rare. We report a case of fibroadenoma of an accessory breast with no nipple or areola in a 41-year-old woman who …

We report a case of phyllodes tumor (PT) with multiple lesions partly mimicking fibroadenoma (FA). A 43-year-old woman was referred to our institute because of a left breast mass which was diagnosed as FA clinically. During the follow-up, the mass …
