Özet
Fibroadenomas are tumors consisting of a fibrous stroma without cytologic
atypia and ductal carcinoma insitu is a malign epitelial proliferation limited
within the breast ducts. A 21 years old patient was operated by her choice
with the ultrasonographic diagnosis of a 27*16 mm fibroadenoma. The pahtological
evaluation detected ductal carcinoma insitu situated inside the fibroadenoma.
Some authorities prefer to enucleate the fibroadenomas while the others
prefer a diagnostic biopsy and a long term follow up because fibroadenomas
are usually detected in young women at ages that cancer is rarely
diagnosed. Although ductal carcinoma insitu situated inside fibroadenomas
has been reported before the treatment is controversial. Local
excision with radiotherapy is the most popular choice. But in our case
the ductal carcinoma insitu was totally inside the adenoma and regarding
the side effects in such a young age radiotherapy was ommited. The
follow up of the other fibroadenomas detected by magnetic resonance
imaging is also contoversial
