Pseudoangiomatous Stromal Hyperplasia (PASH) of the Breast : A Case Report
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Health Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia (PASH) of the breast is a benign proliferating messenchymal lesion of the breast. The common presentation of this lesion is usually an incidental microscopic foci & rarely they may present as painless, firm, nodular mass referred to as tumorous PASH. PASH has probable hormonal etiological influence which may mimic Fibroadenoma. We report the case of a 40 year old female with complaints of swelling in the left breast of 6 months duration with clinical diagnosis of fibroadenoma. Radiological & fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) studies were suggestive of a benign etiology. Histopathological study & Immunohistochemistry (IHC) showed characteristic features of PASH. We report this unique case to highlight its mimicking presentations clinically, radiologically, cytologically with fibroadenoma & the essentiality of histopathological examination for its correct diagnosis.
