Fibroadenoma with coexisting tubular adenoma of the breast in a young female: A rare case report

Tubular adenoma is a rare benign epithelial neoplasm of the breast that predominantly affects young women and may closely mimic fibroadenoma clinically, radiologically, and cytologically. The coexistence of tubular adenoma with fibroadenoma is exceedingly uncommon. We report the case of a 20-year-old female presenting with a painful right breast lump that was initially diagnosed as fibroadenoma on fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC). Histopathological examination of the excised specimen revealed features of fibroadenoma along with a coexisting tubular adenoma. This case highlights the importance of histopathological examination in establishing the correct diagnosis of rare benign breast lesions.
