Lesions of anogenital mammary-like glands: Four cases including novel pathologic and immunohistochemical observations.

Ann Diagn Pathol

August 2020

Department of Pathology and Genomic Medicine, Houston Methodist Hospital, Weill Medical College of Cornell University, Houston, TX, USA. Electronic address:

Anogenital mammary-like glands, formerly described as ectopic breast tissue, are currently considered to be normal histologic components of the anogenital region. Anogenital mammary-like glands can give rise to many lesions identical to counterparts in the native female breast. We describe four cases of such lesions, including fibroadenoma, gynecomastia-like hyperplasia, and ectopic mammary-type tissue with a spectrum of usual ductal hyperplasia, apocrine metaplasia, adenosis, and pseudolactational change.

Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia tumor: a clinical, radiologic and pathologic study of 26 cases.

Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia tumors are rare. In this retrospective study, we evaluated the clinical, radiologic, and pathologic features of pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia tumors and compared histologic findings of pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia tumors with clinical outcome. We identified 26 patients (mean age, 47 years) with pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia tumors who had been diagnosed at our institution.

Gynecomastia-like changes of the female breast.

Arch Pathol Lab Med

Department of Pathology, Monmouth Medical Center, 300 Second Ave., Long Branch, NJ 07740, USA.

Objectives: Gynecomastia-like changes of the female breast are only sparsely reported and are not well defined in the literature to our knowledge. Our objectives were to determine the incidence, clinical presentation, mammographic findings, and the medical background of patients with these changes.

Design: Two thousand seven hundred nine female breast surgical cases from 1995 to 1999 were searched by SNOMED.

Gynecomastia-like lesions in the female breast.

Arch Pathol Lab Med

June 2000

Department of Pathology, Harvard Medical School, Mount Auburn Hospital, Cambridge, MA 02238, USA.

Context: Gynecomastia is an abnormal enlargement of the male breast, but the histopathologic abnormalities could theoretically be present in female breasts as well. To my knowledge, however, there have been no reports in the literature to date that have attributed a clinically or radiologically detectable mass in a female breast exclusively to the histopathologic findings seen in gynecomastia.

Objective: The clinical, radiologic, and histopathologic findings of 4 patients with lesions composed exclusively of the findings of gynecomastia, herein termed gynecomastia-like lesions, are presented and compared with those of 3 patients with lesser degrees of these changes, herein termed gynecomastia-like areas, which were incidental accompaniments to other lesions.
