Voluminous tubular adenoma of the breast in a 16-year-old girl

Abstract

The finding of a voluminous tubular adenoma of the breast in a 16-year-old girl has led us to review the literature pertaining to this neoplasm. Tubular adenoma of the breast has an exceptionally low incidence in adolescents; this case is the second of two ever recorded in the literature in a nonpregnant girl. The prognosis of tubular adenoma is benign. The young patient was treated by surgical excision and followed for 5 years with neither recurrence nor breast-related problems. The neoforma-tion was excised, and the 5-year follow-up confirms the patient's health with no evidence of disease.
