Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia – a benign and rare tumor of the breast in an adolescent: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
BACKGROUND Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia is an uncommon mesenchymal breast neoplasm. CASE PRESENTATION Here we present a case of an 11-year old hispanic girl affected by bilateral mammary nodular pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia, an uncommon breast disease, with a review of the literature related to diagnostic workup, differential diagnosis, and management. A rapidly growing mass in the breast may be stressful for both parents and child as the suspicion of malignancy arises. Multiple wide excisions of both breasts were performed. CONCLUSIONS The purpose of this case report is to draw attention to the fact that most emerging lesions of the breast in girls during puberty are benign diseases.

متن کاملPseudoangiomatous Stromal Hyperplasia: A Case Report
Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia (PASH) is a rare benign proliferating breast condition. It was first reported in 1986 when Vuitch, Rosen, and Erlandson described nine cases of benign well-circumscribed, breast masses that simulated vascular lesions consisting of mammary stromal proliferations (Vuitch et al. (1986)). Since then there have been few reported cases of PASH in the literature (...
