    Area of Science:

    • Pathology
    • Radiology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Sclerosing adenosis is a benign breast condition.
    • It can present with symptoms that mimic malignancy.
    • It is also a common cause of breast pain (mastalgia).

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the literature on sclerosing adenosis.
    • To emphasize its pathological and radiological aspects.
    • To discuss its clinical significance in breast diagnostics.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of sclerosing adenosis.
    • Analysis of pathological and radiological features.
    • Case series of 43 patients with sclerosing adenosis.

    Main Results:

    • Sclerosing adenosis can mimic breast cancer on mammography (17/43 cases).
    • Breast pain (mastalgia) was experienced by 25/43 patients.
    • Clinical and radiological features can suggest the diagnosis before biopsy.

    Conclusions:

    • Sclerosing adenosis is a critical differential diagnosis in breast imaging.
    • Early suspicion based on clinical and radiological findings is important.
    • Paraffin histology is preferred over frozen section for definitive diagnosis.
