Diagnosis in short

Nipple adenoma. H&E stain.
LM proliferation of epithelial and myoepithelial elements that extends into the breast stroma; not encapsulated; lacks true fibrovascular cores, +/-focal necrosis
LM DDx intraductal papilloma of the breast
Site breast - nipple
Prevalence uncommon
Prognosis benign
Clin. DDx Paget's disease of the breast

Nipple adenoma is a benign pathology of the breast.

It is also known as nipple duct adenoma, nipple adenoma of breast, adenoma of the nipple and florid papillomatosis of the nipple.[1]

General

  • A benign lesion with papillary architecture arising at the nipple.
  • Rare.[2]
  • Reported in men.[1]

Clinical DDx:

Microscopic

Features:

  • Not encapsulated.[4]
  • Proliferation of epithelial and myoepithelial elements that extends into the breast stroma.[4]
  • Arborising papillomatous epithelial proliferation within duct
  • (Papillae have fibrovascular cores) at least as far as I can see but not according to Stanford.
  • Florid epithelial hyperplasia can be seen
  • Can see haphazard arrangement of proliferating tubular structures

Notes:

  • Lacks true fibrovascular cores.[5]
  • Focal necrosis may be present.[6]

DDx:

  • Intraductal papilloma of the breast.
    • Found within the duct not the stroma.
    • Often deeper - one should not see skin in the histologic section.
  • Syringomatous adenoma
  • Intraductal carcinoma - the proliferation in nipple adenoma should be no more atypical than that seen with usual intraductal hyperplasia or intraductal papillomatosis. Cribriforming glands should be absent
  • Invasive ductal carcinoma - IHC is useful (see below) the ducts should all be lined by myoepithelium.
