“…Spontaneous infraction in fibroadenomas is a rare phenomenon and usually associated with pregnancy, lactation or a recent FNA [5-7]. Exceptionally, spontaneous infarction may affect multiple fibroadenomas in the same patient [24]. Infarction may also be associated with the use of oral contraceptives [25].…”

IntroductionFibroadenomas are the most common benign breast tumors in young women. Infarction is rarely observed in fibroadenomas and when present, it is usually associated with pregnancy or lactation. Infarction can exceptionally occur as a complication of previous fine-needle aspiration biopsy or during lactation and pregnancy.Materials and methodsRetrospective review of 650 cases of fibroadenomas diagnosed at our institution during the 8-years period identified two cases of fibroadenomas with infarction (rate ~0.3%).ResultsTwo partially infarcted fibroadenomas were diagnosed on core biopsy and frozen section in an adolescent girl (13 years old) and in a young woman (25 years old), respectively. No preceding fine-needle aspiration biopsy was performed in these cases, nor were the patients pregnant or lactating at the time of the diagnosis.ConclusionSpontaneous infarction within fibroadenoma is a rare phenomenon in younger patients. The presence of necrosis on core biopsy or frozen section should be cautiously interpreted and is not a sign of malignancy.Virtual SlidesThe virtual slide(s) for this article can be found here: http://www.diagnosticpathology.diagnomx.eu/vs/1556060549847356

Fibroadenoma is one of the most prevalent benign tumour in adolescent women. It accounts for 20% of all benign breast tumours. Spontaneous infarction in fibroadenoma is very unwonted and mostly, it is associated with gravidity or lactation. Infarction can additionally occur as a complication of antecedent fine-needle aspiration biopsy. At the institution during 2-years period we incidentally found three such cases of spontaneous infarction of fibroadenoma over varied age groups which surprised us. So, reviewed the literature and presented our findings. Three fibroadenomas with features of central necrosis were diagnosed on excision and biopsy. Spontaneous infarction within fibroadenoma is a rare occurrence. It causes diagnostic difficulties, hence conscientious search and possibility of this entity should be must during the evaluation of breast lump.

“…Generally, biopsy is required. [8,9,10] Gigantomastia: In about 1 in 100,000 pregnancies, the normal increase in size and weight of the breasts is exaggerated to enormous proportions. [11] The resulting hypertrophy is not only grotesquely deforming, but also may preclude ambulation or progress to skin ulceration, infection, or massive bleeding from dilated subcutaneous veins; these complications may be life threatening.…”

AIM OF THE STUDY To study the various breast conditions during pregnancy and lactation. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a cross sectional descriptive study conducted at various nursing homes in Jammu region during the period of one year (2011-2012). All pregnant/Lactating women with breast related problems were enrolled for the study. A detailed clinical examination was carried out on the first visit and all relevant investigations were carried out. RESULTS Majority of cases were of infective etiology like mastitis (94.11%) out of which 60 were lactating and 20 were pregnant, they all got treated with antibiotics and analgesics. Antibioma and abscesses was noted in 1% each, they were drained surgically. Galactocele was noted in one lactating female (1. 16%). Only one patient (1.17%). was noted to have a mass lesion on clinical examination which proved to be malignant on FNAC. CONCLUSION Invariably, most breast disorders during pregnancy or lactation will ultimately prove to be benign. Nevertheless, the possibility of cancer should be kept in mind so as to intervene earliest possible without any risk to mother or fetus.
