AI Article Synopsis
- A rare case is discussed where a malignant tumor, specifically an invasive apocrine carcinoma, developed within a complex fibroadenoma.
- The most common carcinomas that arise in fibroadenomas are lobular and ductal types.
- Clinicians need to be aware of the potential for both benign and malignant tumors to coexist, particularly in older women.
Article Abstract
A carcinoma arising in a fibroadenoma is a rare event, which often entails a diagnostic challenge. The most common type is the lobular carcinoma and secondary a ductal carcinoma. We present an extremely rare case of malignant development of an invasive apocrine carcinoma in a complex fibroadenoma and underline the importance for clinicians to recognize the possibility of benign and malignant co-existence especially in older women.
