Lactating adenoma of the breast: A case report

Lactating adenomas are rare benign tumors of breast, frequently associated with pregnancy and lactation. They are common in the third trimester of pregnancy during second and third decade. They present similarly as other benign lesions of breast and differentiation from them preoperatively is difficult both clinically and radiologically. It is characterised by typical changes of secretory epithelium leading to formation of a well-differentiated benign tumor. Cytology and histopathology remains the definitive tests for confirming the diagnosis. Surgery is the treatment of choice. They tend to regress spontaneously and prognosis is generally good. Here we have presented such a rare case of lactating adenoma arising from 28 years old lactating women.
