Abstract

Fibroadenoma (FAD) is the most common type of breast lesion especially in young female individuals. Although malignant transformation in FAD is rare, several reports have described a higher risk of subsequent breast carcinoma amongst patients who have FAD with specific histologic features. The case of a 30-year-old female exhibiting invasive lobular carcinoma arising within an excised fibroadenoma is being presented. The literature was reviewed with regards to the increased likelihood of developing breast cancer in patients with FADs. The incidence of cancer found in an excised FAD is extremely low, but there are specific proliferative changes on the histology after a core needle biopsy, that they should warrant excision biopsy.
