Pseudoangiomatous Stromal Hyperplasia (PASH) is a benign breast tumor with a histological pattern that mimics the appearance of angiomatous proliferation. The lesion appears as a complex tissue with slit-like spaces lined by spindle cells resembling endothelial cells with a background of stromal hyperplasia. PASH manifests as a palpable mass, multifocal nodules, or a large diffuse mass that makes the breast asymmetrical. We report a case of breast lump in a 32-year-old woman caused by PASH. Biopsy of the mass showed histopathologic features of PASH. This patient then received tumor excision to remove the mass. Treatment of PASH tumors depends on the size and growth rate of the tumor. Anti-hormonal therapy such as tamoxifen may be an option for non-invasive therapy, but after the diagnosis has been confirmed through a core biopsy and the tumor size is no more than 2 cm. Surgical excision of the tumor by minimizing damage to the surrounding breast tissue is the most recommended treatment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
