| Pleomorphic adenoma is a tumor rarely seen in the breast. To date, only about 70
cases have been reported in the literature. Many reports have used fine-needle aspiration
biopsy in the preoperative diagnosis of these lesions. However, pleomorphic
adenoma is sometimes mistaken for a malignant tumor because of its cytologic features.
In this study, we present a 56-year-old woman with a palpable breast mass.
Ultrasound indicated a 15 mm oval-shaped hypoechoic mass with complex
echogenicity in the palpable region. Ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy (US-CNB)
revealed a pleomorphic adenoma of the breast, which was confirmed through surgical
excision. Although pleomorphic adenoma is rarely seen in the breast, results demonstrate
the usefulness and accuracy of US-CNB in diagnosing pleomorphic adenoma
of the breast. |
