Fibroadenoma, abbreviated FA, is a common benign tumour of the breast.
It is a type of fibroepithelial tumour.
General
- Very common benign finding.
- The pathology is in the stroma; so, the lesion is really a misnomer by the naming rules.
- It ought to be called adenofibroma (as a few occasionally do[1]), as the glandular component is benign and the stromal component lesional; there is no truth in names in pathology.
Management:
- Local excision -- without a large margin.
Gross
Features:[2]
- Well-circumscribed.
- Rubbery - classic descriptor.
- Tan/white.
- +/-Lobulated appearance.
- +/-Slit-like spaces - short.
- +/-Calcification.
Images
- Fibroadenoma - slit-like spaces (webpathology.com).
- Fibroadenoma - lobulated appearance (webpathology.com).
- Fibroadenoma (surgical-tutor.org).
Microscopic
Features:[3]
- Abundant (intralobular) stroma - most key feature.
- Stroma is usually:
- White/pale, i.e. myxoid, on H&E (normal stroma is pink).
- May be hyalinized (dark pink) if infarcted.
- Paucicellular - typical.
- White/pale, i.e. myxoid, on H&E (normal stroma is pink).
- Stroma is usually:
- Compression of glandular elements - very commonly seen.
- Glandular elements have at least two cell layers - epithelial and myoepithelial.
Notes:
- There is stuff about intracanalicular vs. pericanalicular.[4] It is irrelevant; there is no prognostic difference between the two.
- Do not comment on the margin - it is irrelevant.
DDx:
- Phyllodes tumour - long slit-like spaces (seen grossly), stroma is more cellular.
- +/-Mitoses,
- +/-"Stromal overgrowth" = large area where there is a 'loss of glands'.
- Sarcoma.
- Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia.
- Small capillary-like structures in the stroma.
- Epithelial component often not compressed - as in fibroadenoma.
- Small capillary-like structures in the stroma.
- Adenomyoepithelioma - for tubular adenoma of the breast.

Variants
Four variants are described by the Washington Manual:[7]
- Juvenile.
- Complex.
- Myxoid.
- Cellular.
Considered a variant of fibroadenoma by many authorities:[8]
Juvenile fibroadenoma
- As the name suggests, is typically found in younger patients.
- Classic history: rapid growth.
Features (juvenile variant):[9]
- Stromal and epithelial hyperplasia - key feature.
- +/-Tapering, thin micropapillae (gynecomastoid hyperplasia).[8]
- Mitoses uncommon.
Myxoid fibroadenoma
- May be associated with Carney's complex.
Features:
Cellular fibroadenoma
Features (cellular variant):
- Cellular.
- Mitoses.
Note:
- "Cellular" is something that can be subjective. One definition of "cellular" is: "stromal cells are touching one another". Jacobs et al. has a stromal cellularity picture gallery showing mild (rare stromal cells touching), moderate and marked (many stromal cells touching).[10]
Complex fibroadenoma
- Contain proliferative epithelium which outside and inside a fibroadenoma is associated with an increased risk of malignancy.
Features:[11]
- Apocrine metaplasia.
- Cysts > 3 mm.
- Calcification.
- Sclerosing adenosis.
Memory devices:
- FACS: complex fibroadenoma, apocrine metaplasia, calcs & cysts, sclerosing adenosis.
- CAMS: calcs, apocrine metaplasia, microcysts, sclerosing adenosis.
Tubular adenoma of the breast
- Considered by many a variant of fibroadenoma.
- IHC features of tubular adenoma of the breast and fibroadenoma are similar.[12]
- Most present in adults between menarche and menopause.
Features:[8]
- Well circumscribed lesion.
- Closely packed uniform tubules, lined by a single layer of epithelial cells and an attenuated myoepithelial cell layer.
- Stroma is generally more sparse than in conventional fibroadenoma

Right Partial Breast, Lumpectomy: - Fibroadenoma.
Micro
The sections show a lesion with a pale mildly cellular stroma, and bland glandular elements. No apparent proliferative activity is present. The border is well-circumscribed where seen. Focally, the lesion approaches the inked margin; partial lesion transection cannot be excluded.
No cytologic atypia is present. No leaf-like architecture is present. No stromal overgrowth is seen. No calcifications are evident. No large cysts are seen.
Complex
Right Breast, Lumpectomy: - Complex fibroadenoma with apocrine metaplasia. - Negative for carcinoma in situ and negative for malignancy.
Micro
The sections show a lesion with a pale mildly cellular stroma, and bland glandular elements. Minimal mitotic activity is present (2 mitosis/10 HPF, where 1 HPF ~ 0.2376 mm*mm). The border is well-circumscribed where seen. The lesion was shelled-out.
No cytologic atypia is present. No leaf-like architecture is present. No stromal overgrowth is seen. No calcifications are evident. No large cysts are seen.
