Sclerosing Adenosis of the Breast: What You Need to Know<\/strong><\/p>\n

The sclerosing adenosis<\/strong> is one benign breast disease<\/strong>, where tissue grows excessively in a specific area, causing local hardening. It occurs most often in women aged 30 to 45 years old<\/strong> and, although it is not malignant, it can mimic features of cancer on imaging tests.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Symptoms of Sclerosing Adenosis<\/strong><\/p>\n

In most cases, the sclerosing adenosis<\/strong> does not cause obvious symptoms and is diagnosed incidentally during a preventive check-up with mammogram.<\/strong> However, some women may feel a small, hard lump, while more rarely it may present located<\/strong> chest pain<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

How is the Diagnosis Made?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Diagnosis primarily relies on imaging modalities such as:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Mammography,<\/strong> may reveal findings like microcalcifications or architectural distortion.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
    • Breast ultrasound,<\/strong> provides detailed imaging of the affected area.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Because it can mimic radiological and ultrasound features of malignancy, the multimodal approach<\/strong> with a combination of mammography, ultrasound and MRI enhances diagnostic accuracy. Newer studies suggest the use artificial intelligence and automated ultrasound systems (ABVS)<\/strong> to improve diagnosis in difficult cases<\/p>\n

      It is worth noting that in order to document the final diagnosis, it is necessary to breast biopsy<\/strong> (with a cutting needle or stereotactic).<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Treatment and Follow-up<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Since the histological examination<\/strong> confirms sclerosing adenosis as a benign condition, no further treatment is required. The only thing recommended is regular monitoring by a specialist mammologist<\/strong>, based on personal history and the proposed screening program.<\/p>\n

      According to studies in large population groups, women with sclerosing adenoma show slightly increased relative risk for future development of breast cancer<\/strong>, especially if other risk factors or histological markers such as increased Ki-67 expression coexist. For this reason, systematic prevention and information are of crucial importance.<\/p>\n
