Mammary-type fibroepithelial lesions involving ectopic breast and anogenital region are rare and usually coexist with normal orthotopic breast. We present what we believe to be a unique case of synchronous bilateral gestational gigantomastia resembling fibrous mastopathy, synchronous rapidly growing pregnancy-associated nodular pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia involving right breast and bilateral axillary ectopic breast tissue, and metachronous perianal mammary-type hamartoma involving anogenital mammary-like glands occurring in a 34-year-old patient with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy. Also, we review the literature concerning these lesions.

Article Synopsis
- Mammary-type tissue in the vulva, first identified in 1872, is rarely documented and has historically been thought to be ectopic breast tissue from incomplete milk line regression, but new theories suggest it comes from normal vulvar glands.
- This tissue is hormonally sensitive and can develop both benign conditions like fibroadenoma and malignant changes.
- A case study of a 41-year-old woman revealed a cyst in the vulva, diagnosed as resembling a mammary fibroadenoma and highlighting the need for careful monitoring and excision due to the potential for malignancy and recurrence.
Low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma of the breast: genetic characterization and immunohistochemical comparison to morphologic mimics.

Spindle cell lesions of the breast elicit a specific, relatively limited differential diagnosis, and accurate classification often requires careful morphologic evaluation and immunohistochemical workup. Low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma (LGFMS) is a rare malignant fibroblastic tumor with deceptively bland spindle cell morphology. Involvement of the breast is exceedingly rare.

Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia (PASH) is a benign mesenchymal tumor-like lesion of the breast. It is commonly seen as incidental background changes of the intralobular stroma in biopsy specimens performed for other breast lesions. Less frequently, it presents as a nodular form that has a benign morphology on imaging, mimicking fibroadenoma or as a diffuse form causing progressive massive gigantomastia.

The term mastocytosis refers to a heterogeneous group of disorders characterised by accumulation of clonal mast cells in different organs, most commonly in the skin. Little is known about the role of dermoscopy in the diagnostics of mastocytosis. To date, no systematic review on the dermoscopic features of cutaneous mastocytosis has been performed.

Context.—: Spindle cell lesions of the breast represent a broad spectrum of entities, ranging from nonneoplastic reactive conditions to high-grade malignant tumors. The wide range makes breast spindle cell lesions a diagnostic pitfall.
