Intraductal papilloma of the breast, also papilloma and intraductal papilloma, is a relatively common benign pathology of the breast.
General
- May cause nipple discharge.[1]
- Similar to papillary hidradenoma of the vulva.
- Usually excised to exclude malignancy.
- Risk very low if not associated with a mass or suspicious radiologic findings - conservative management may be reasonable.[2]
Microscopic
Features:
- True papillae - nipple-shaped structures with fibrovascular cores.
- Intraductal proliferation of epithelial and myoepithelial elements.[3]
Notes:
- Lacks florid hyperplasia.[4]
- May degeneration and hyalinize to form a sclerosing papilloma.
- When many ducts are involved the process is termed 'papillomatosis'.
DDx:
- Intraductal papilloma with florid epithelial hyperplasia.
- Intraductal papilloma with atypical ductal hyperplasia. †
- Intraductal papilloma with ductal carcinoma in situ. †
- Ductal carcinoma in situ - papillary variant
- Invasive papillary carcinoma of the breast.
† Size criteria are different in papillomas.
