Nodular sclerosing adenosis: Case report

Abstract

Sclerosing adenosis (SA) is a benign proliferative type of breast disease affecting the acinar, myoepithelial and connective tissue in the terminal ductal lobular units. Sclerosing adenosis, which gives a nodular appearance on mammography and ultrasonography, is defined as nodular sclerosing adenosis (NSA). NSA is an atypical radiological presentation of SA. Such lesions may arouse suspicions about the reliability of the diagnosis when they receive a diagnosis of SA in the needle biopsies. Therefore, it should be kept in mind that SA may rarely be seen as a nodular mass.

Nodüler sklerozan adenosis: Olgu sunumu

Öz

Sklerozan adenozis (SA) terminal lobuler ünitte asiner, miyoepitelyal ve konnektif dokuyu etkileyen benign proliferatif tipte bir meme hastalığıdır. Mammografide ve ultrasonografide nodüler ve vizualize SA, nodüler sklerozan adenozis (NSA) olarak tanımlanır. NSA, SA’nın atipik bir radyolojik presentasyonudur. Bu tarz lezyonlar ince ve kalın iğne biyopsilerinde SA tanısı aldığında tanının güvenilirliği açısından kuşku uyandırabilir. SA’nın nadir olarak nodüler kitle şekilde görülebileceği akılda tutulmalıdır.
