[Breast Papilloma with Rapid Growth Difficult to Distinguish from Carcinoma-A Case Report]

We report a case of papilloma of the breast with rapid growth in a 39-year-old female who had a lump in the left breast. The follow-up for the breast tumor was performed at another hospital.Three years after her first visit, 3 tumors measuring 1.8 cm, 0.5 cm, and 0.3 cm in diameter were detected. The patient visited our hospital to diagnose these tumors. We performed core needle biopsy for the tumor, and the pathological diagnosis was benign papilloma.After 1 year, the tumor grew to 3.0 cm in diameter, and we repeated the core needle biopsy. The pathological diagnosis remained as benign papilloma; however, the ultrasonography and MRI results showed that the tumor was malignant.Surgical resection was performed for the tumors, and pathological analysis of the surgical specimen revealed 3 benign papillomas with no involvement of the surgical margin.Six years after surgery, no recurrence was reported.
