Abstract:
Erosive adenomatosis of the nipple is a benign tumor originated from the lactiferous duct of the breast. A 41-year-old woman presented with one year history of painful and pruritic erosion of the right nipple. A biopsy specimen showed tubular structures which were lined by inner columnar cells showing secretory properties into the lumen and peripherally located cuboidal cells. The papillary projections of the luminal cells into the lumen were also seen. We, herein, report a rare case of erosive adenomatosis of the nipple.
