Study Notes
- Fibroadenoma is a benign tumor of fibrous and epithelial elements in the breast.
- It is the most common benign tumor of the female breast.
- It can occur at any age during reproductive life, but most patients are between 15 to 30 years of age.
- Clinically, it appears as a solitary, discrete, freely mobile nodule within the breast.
- Rarely, it may contain in situ or invasive lobular or ductal carcinoma.
- Grossly, it is a small, well-encapsulated, spherical or discoid mass.
- Microscopically, it comprises mostly fibrous tissue and can show two types of patterns: intracanalicular and peri-canalicular.
