Description
Wei Ren Ng and colleagues present a six-case series on tubular adenoma, a rare benign breast tumour hard to tell from the common fibroadenoma by feel or scan. Firm diagnosis needs tissue under the microscope. The series gathers clinical, imaging, and pathology details of each patient to draw management lessons.
Patients ranged from twenty-two to sixty-two years old. Ultrasound in every case showed a smooth-edged, darker-than-surrounding lump with varying blood flow inside. Core needle biopsy, which samples tissue with a hollow needle, made the diagnosis in all six. Four patients had surgery, which confirmed the benign finding, and two were watched with scans after biopsy and imaging agreed. No lump grew back, enlarged, or turned malignant during follow-up. Because rare reports place cancer next to such tumours, the authors advise biopsy proof in all cases, watching only when results agree.
