چکیده
Sclerosing adenosis (SA) is a proliferative lesion that is commonly found in benign breast biopsies. The identification of increased cancer risk for patients with SA suggests that tumorigenic alterations may be associated with the pathogenesis of this lesion. We here report a case of old female who presented with a breast lump. Trucut biopsy proved it to be a case of sclerosing adenosis, later on lumpectomy evidence of mixed Ductal and Lobular carcinoma.

Sclerosing Adenosis (SA) is a lobulocentric proliferative process that involves both the epithelial and the mesenchymal component of the breast suggesting benignity. The disease has an increased incidence among reproductive-age and perimenopausal women, especially be age. The clinical, radiological, and histopathological properties of sclerosing adenosis may resemble malignancy, which is the fa...

BACKGROUND Sclerosing adenosis is a benign, usually asymptomatic lobulocentric proliferative process that involves both the epithelial and the mesenchymal component of the breast. It is commonly an incidental finding in perimenopausal women undergoing screening mammography. CASE REPORT We reported on two patients with sclerosing adenosis assessed with mammography, ultrasound, and contrast-enh...
متن کاملA study of surgically removed specimens of breast, with special reference to sclerosing adenosis.
It is now generally accepted that carcinoma of the breast is not restricted to the middle-aged or elderly woman and that a mass in the breast in a woman of any age must be regarded as malignant until it is proved to be benign. This recognition, which has recently been re-emphasized elsewhere (Sandison, 1955), has led to a considerable increase in the demand by surgeons for immediate examination...
متن کاملSclerosing Polycystic Adenosis of the Submandibular Gland
Sclerosing polycystic adenosis (SPA) is a rare, newly reported lesion of the salivary glands. Most cases occurred within major salivary glands and were frequently confused with other salivary gland carcinomas such as acinar cell carcinoma. We report a case of sclerosing polycystic adenosis within the submandibular gland in a 63-year-old woman. Adenosis poliquística esclerosante de la glándula s...
متن کاملAtypical apocrine adenosis of the breast: a clinicopathologic study of 37 patients with 8.7-year follow-up.
BACKGROUND Apocrine metaplasia is occasionally superimposed on sclerosing adenosis (apocrine adenosis) in breast biopsies, and cytologic atypia is sometimes present (atypical apocrine adenosis). The long term risk of patients developing breast carcinoma subsequent to the diagnosis of this lesion is unknown. METHODS Atypical apocrine adenosis was defined as apocrine adenosis with enlarged nucl...
