Syringomatous adenoma of the nipple: Case report

Abstract

Syringomatous adenoma is a rare disease of the nipple that was mostly easily confused nipple eczema or erosive nipple adenoma. Although, mammographic findings indicate carcinoma, this condition has benign, locally infiltrative characteristics. Herein, a patient with complaints of pruritus and minimal enlargement of right nipple was firstly evaluated as nipple eczema or erosive adenoma of nipple, but no response was detected with topical treatments. Patient was diagnosed with syringomatous adenoma of nipple with histopathologic examination findings that were double layered epithelial ductus proliferations which some of them had tear-drop, comma-like appearance and nipple area was excised. This rare condition is discussed with literature.

Meme başının siringomatöz adenomu: Olgu sunumu

Öz

Siringomatöz adenom, çoğunlukla meme başı ekzeması ya da meme başının eroziv adenomu ile kolayca karışabilen, meme başının nadir görülen bir hastalığıdır. Mammografik bulgular karsinomu düşündürmesine rağmen, bu tablo lokal infiltratif özellik taşımaktadır. Burada 1 yıldır sağ meme başında kaşıntı ve hafif büyüme şikayeti olan hasta öncelikle “nipple ekzema” ya da “meme başının eroziv adenomu” olarak değerlendirilmiş, ancak topikal tedavilere yanıt alınamamıştır. Hastaya, histopatolojik incelemede dermiste iki sıra epitel ile döşeli, bazıları “gözyaşı damlası - tear-drop” ve “virgül şeklinde - comma-like” görünümde duktus proliferasyonu ile meme başının siringomatöz adenomu tanısı konuldu ve meme başı eksize edildi. Bu nadir olgu literatürler eşliğinde tartışıldı.
