[Ductal adenoma of the breast: correlations between clinico-radiologic and histo-pathologic aspects (considerations...

The authors report on a case of ductal adenoma of the breast, pointing out that routine clinico-instrumental diagnostic signs, though suggesting a picture of malignancy, may actually relate to this rare benign form of tumor. In the presence of cases of this type, we therefore advise a cautions approach to surgery, in that oncological radicality is subordinate to confirmation in the form of a traditional histological preparation, as freezer examinations are unable to provide wholly reliable responses.
