ABSTRACT
Atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) is characterized by a proliferation of uniform epithelial cells with monomorphic round nuclei filling part but not all of the involved duct. It is a known risk factor for breast cancer. We report a 16 years old male presenting with gynecomastia, which was surgically excised. The pathological study of the surgical piece revealed an ADH without evidence of infiltrating carcinoma. After 19 months of follow up, the patient is in good conditions.
RESUMEN
Reportamos el caso de un paciente intervenido por una ginecomastia idiopática que presentó como hallazgo histológico una zona de la mama con hiperplasia ductal atípica. Se presentan sus características clinicas, y las imágenes histológicas con detalles de la pieza quirúrgica. Se revisa el tema y llama la atención la escasa ocurrencia de estos hallazgos, no habiendo en la literatura nacional casos similares publicados.
