A case report of tubular adenoma of the breast

Pure adenoma of the breast was seen in a 34-year-old Japanese woman. On examination, there was a firm, movable, nontender mass, 2.0 cm in diameter, in the upper outer quadrant of the left breast. The xeromammographic and macroscopical diagnosis was fibroadenoma. Histological examination, however, identified pure tubular adenoma of the breast. This was reported herein because of its extreme rarity.
