The areas of abnormal enhancement had been sampled in 2011, and at that time, pathology results had revealed sclerosing
adenosis.
The dataset consisted of 29 malignancies and 28 benign lesions, as follows: 22 invasive carcinomas (2 lobular, 20 invasive ductal carcinoma), 7 invasive + ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), 9 fibroadenomas, 6 fibrocystic changes, 4 sclerosing
adenosis, 2 lymph nodes, 2 proliferative dysplasia, 1 fat necrosis, 1 columnar cell hyperplasia without atypia, 1 epithelial hyperplasia, 1 post-surgical scar, 1 radial scar (a border-line lesion which was excised after initial diagnosis at core biopsy, with the same result, and therefore it was considered benign in this study).
The most common benign lesion encountered was fibrocystic change, followed by sclerosing
adenosis. We found fibroadenoma, classically a condition encountered in younger individuals, to be more common among older patients.
It covers histopathology, the human papillomavirus, examination using colposcopy, colposcopy of the normal cervix, cytology and screening, diagnosis, management, and vaginal, vulval, perianal, and anal intraepithelial neoplasia, as well as genital tract
adenosis and infective and other conditions causing confusion in diagnosis.
(2-3) Complex fibroadenomas contain other proliferative changes such as sclerosing
adenosis, duct epithelial hyperplasia, and epithelial calcification and are associated with slightly increased risk of cancer.
The false positive results occur because of some benign diseases with hypercellularity like cellular fibroadenoma, proliferative fibrocystic disease, phyllodes tumor, lactational changes, sclerosing
adenosis, and so forth, and in lesions with atypia like postradiation, fat necrosis, and radial scar [9].
Rad6 has been implicated in early breast cancer development since an increase in Rad6 levels is observed in
adenosis and benign hyperplasias as compared to normal tissue [15].

Benign lesions included fibrocystic disease, sclerosing
adenosis, fibroadenoma, ductal ectasia and lipoid necrosis.
In contrast, in cases of sclerosing
adenosis, a benign breast lesion, ATM is expressed in both the epithelial and myoepithelial cells.
(5) Diagnostic results can be false positive due to misinterpretation of lobular cancerization and sclerosing
adenosis. False negative results can be due to masking of the foci of disease by inflammatory cells or falsely identifying tumor cells as histiocytes.
Once more common causes of unilateral breast swelling are excluded, less common etiologies, such as duct ectasia, mammary
adenosis or fat necrosis, and blunt force trauma, should be considered.
Included in the histologic differential diagnosis of salivary gland SMEC are sclerosing polycystic
adenosis, chronic sclerosing sialadenitis, low-grade cystadenocarcinoma, and necrotizing sialometaplasia.
Microscopically there was a non-encapsulated lesion with a combination of stroma and cells in the terminal duct lobular units and there was superimposed sclerosing
adenosis indicative of a hamartoma.
