摘要
Affecting young women, lactating adenoma is a rare benign tumor of the breast. It is seen mainly in the third trimester of pregnancy and in the postpartum period. Clinically, it is a solid mass, mobile typically benign but its character of rapid evolution is reminiscent of phyllodes tumors, sarcomas and galactoceles. The definitive diagnosis is histological. We report a case of lactating adenoma in a 26-year-old lactating woman, third procedure, second pare, with a history of tumor resection of the outer quadrants of the left breast, 9 months ago, whose histology evoked a fibrotic disease, cystic breast associating non-specific subacute mastitis with suppuration. Received for recurrence of a tumor in the left breast which was the site of a polylobed mass of about 10/5 cm occupying 3/4 of the breast with mobile ipsilateral axillary adenopathies. A micro tru-cut biopsy was performed and the histology was in favor of a lactating breast adenoma with no signs of malignancy. She underwent surgical excision, the consequences of which were simple.
