description | Lactating adenomas (LAs) are uncommon benign breast tumors that typically occur in the late pregnancy or lactation period and are among the most prevalent breast lesions during puerperium. They commonly present with a painless, rapidly growing, large, mobile breast lump either late in pregnancy or the postpartum period. Despite being a condition, a core biopsy is almost always required to exclude malignancy. We are presenting a case of a 34-year-old patient who was referred to our unit with a progressive increase in size of the pre-existing right breast lump that has been there before pregnancy. Due to the massive increase in size in a short period, the lump was removed shortly after delivery with an acceptable cosmetic outcome. |
