Abstract

Secretory
adenosis (SA) of breast is rarely seen benign breast lesion, which might be
associated with increased risk for breast carcinoma. SA is an extremely rare
lesion, the cases reported in the literature and long-term follow-up studies
are limited and radiological and histopathological diagnosis of SA is mostly
challenging; it could be frequently misinterpreted as ductal carcinoma in situ.
Because of these reasons; clinical significance and management of SA is still
not fully understand and relative risk of SA is still not well-established.
Herein; we presented mammography, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging and
microscopic findings in a patient with SA of breast.

Keywords

breast carcinoma, magnetic resonance imaging, secretory adenosis
