Tubular Adenoma of Breast Mimicking as Fibroadenoma: A Rare Case Presentation

Tubular adenomas are rare benign epithelial tumors of the breast, occur commonly in young women of reproductive age. Very few cases were reported in the literature. Preoperative diagnosis is often difficult as they mimic fibroadenomas both clinically and radiologically. Histopathological examination is necessary for correct diagnosis. Tubular adenoma must be differentiated from other benign and malignant lesions, which are closely related such as fibroadenoma and tubular carcinoma respectively. We reported such a rare case of tubular adenoma in young female who presented with gradually enlarging breast lump. Other systemic examination was insignificant. Clinical diagnosis was given as fibroadenoma. Surgical excision was done and on histopathological examination, diagnosis of tubular adenoma was made. They are associated with good prognosis and recurrence after surgery is rare.
