Abstract

|
Erosive adenomatosis of the nipple is a rare, benign neoplasm, currently thought to originate from the terminal lactiferous ducts and subareolar breast tissue. Clinically, erosive adenomatosis of the nipple is often indistinguishable from that of mammary Paget`s disease, and it could be misdiagnosed as intraductal carcinoma as it has a similar histological finding. We present the case of a 36-year-old woman who had a unilateral erythematous induration of the nipple that contained a palpable, firm nodule. It had first been noticed 2 years earlier. The surface was occasionally crusted, and there was a bloody discharge. Histopathological examination showed irregular, dilated tubular structures, which were lined by a peripheral layer of cuboidal cells and a luminal layer of the columnar cells that demonstrated decapitation secretion at their luminal border.
