ABSTRACT
Tubular adenoma of the breast is one of the rare benign tumours, comprising around 0.13% to 1.7% of all benign breast tumours. Microscopically these tumours showing typical pattern of proliferating round and uniform tubules lined by regular epithelial cells surrounded by myoepithelial cells, packed in a small amount of stroma. The radiologic features are often dilemmatic and only the histopathologic analysis can achieve the definitive diagnosis of this tumour by excluding all possible differential diagnoses. Present article highlights the histopathologic and some useful immuno-histochemical features of tubular adenoma of breast.
Key words: Breast, Tubular adenoma, Myoepithelial cells, Histopathology.
