Abstract

Introduction: Tubular adenoma of the breast is a benign pathology in young women as a unilateral mass that generates breast asymmetry and tends to be confused with giant juvenile fibroadenoma, differing in the histopathological study. It is a very rare pathology, with exceptional cases reported in the literature of greater than 10 cm, which is the reason for presenting this case.

Clinical case: We present the case of a 21-year-old woman with a mass of approximately 10 cm in the right breast, of 1 year of evolution with gradual growth, without associated symptoms. Physical examination showed no axillary node hypertrophy.

Diagnostic workshop: The patient underwent surgical excision, reporting a tubular adenoma of the breast in the definitive pathological study.

Conclusion: It is a rare pathology, but we must know it and have a minimum of diagnostic suspicion to avoid confusion with malignant breast pathology.
