Background: Lactating adenoma is an infrequent benign stromal breast tumor mostly seen during pregnancy and lactation. This report seeks to enhance the literature by presenting three cases diagnosed with this condition, while also highlighting its histological subtypes, immunohistochemical characteristics, and differential diagnoses. In all three patients, a circumscribed, painless, and mobile mass was found in the breast in the third trimester of pregnancy. Pathohistological examination revealed hyperplastic lobules with glandular formations in back-to-back arrangements showing more or less abundant hobnailing phenomena with intraluminal eosinophilic secretions and inconspicuous myoepithelial cell layer separated by fibrovascular stroma. The immune profile showed positive reaction for cytokeratin 14 and p40 markers, indicating the presence of myoepithelial cells and distinguishing these cases from other breast lesions.
Conclusion: Pathohistological and immunohistochemical analysis should be performed to differentiate these lesions from other benign lesions and malignant tumors.

Ectopic breast is found to occur most commonly in the axilla, but also less commonly on the vulva and on sites outside the "milk line" like the face, neck and chest. Vulvar adenofibroma developing on ectopic breast tissue in the vulva is exceptionally rare. More precisely, vulvar adenofibroma associated with adenoma with lactating changes has only been documented three times to our knowledge.

Importance: High-quality colonoscopy reduces the risks of colorectal cancer by increasing the adenoma detection rate. Routine use of an automatic quality control system (AQCS) to assist in colorectal adenoma detection should be considered.
Objective: To evaluate the effect of an AQCS on the adenoma detection rate among colonoscopists who were moderate- and low-level detectors during routine colonoscopy.

Mammary-like anogenital glands are considered a normal constituent of the anogenital area. These glands can have epithelial components with eccrine or apocrine features. They often undergo transformation into mammary-like lesions, including lactational changes that occur during pregnancy and the breastfeeding period.
