AI Article Synopsis

  • * Imaging tests are not very effective at telling nipple adenomas apart from breast cancer, so doctors need to use tissue samples and special staining techniques for accurate diagnosis.
  • * A case involving a 69-year-old woman showed successful management through complete removal of the adenomas, although in some situations, preserving the nipple during a partial excision may also work well.

Article Abstract

Nipple adenomas are rare, benign breast lesions that present similarly to breast malignancies, often manifesting with unilateral bloody discharge, a palpable mass, and/or nipple distortion. Imaging techniques have limited specificity in distinguishing nipple adenomas from malignancy; therefore, clinicians must rely on histologic and immunohistochemistry evaluation. Here, we highlight the case of a 69-year-old woman with bilateral nipple adenomas presenting as an enlarging nipple mass with chronic nipple discharge. Complete lesion resection with clear margins stands as the primary route of management and complete avoidance of re-occurrence. However, partial excision with nipple preservation has been reported to be successful in selected cases.
