Abstract

Fibroadenoma is the most common benign biphagic breast tumour which usually occurs in young women under 30 years of age. Fibroadenoma is termed as complex fibroadenoma when it contains cysts larger than 3 mm and there is presence of sclerosing adenosis, epithelial calcification or papillary apocrine changes. The reported case is a 26 years old unmarried girl from Majuli, Jorhat who presented with left sided painless mobile breast lump of 2 years duration. The lump showed presence of coarse calcification on chest X-ray. FNAC of the lump revealed mostly calcified material with occasional ductal element. Histopathological study revealed occasional tubules lined by cuboidal epithelium , numerous cystic spaces of varying sizes with abundant connective tissue stroma showing hyalinization and extensive calcification. Histopathological diagnosis was made as complex fibroadenoma. There is recurrence free follow up till date.
