Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia, abbreviated PASH, is benign lesion is breast pathology.

It is also known as nodular myofibroblastic stromal hyperplasia of the mammary gland.[1]

General

  • Benign lesion.
  • Thought to arise due to myofibroblast abnormality - though not well understood.[2]

Features:[3][4]

  • Abundant breast stromal.
  • Small, complex, inter-anastomosing (blood vessel/capillary-like) channels - key feature.
