Abstract
OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study is to describe the imaging features of tubular ade nomas, which are rare benign breast tumors usually found in wo men younger than 35 years old. CONCLUSION. In young women, tubular adenomas can look like noncalcified fib roadenomas on mammography and sonography. In older women, tubular adenomas may resemble malignant masses with microcalcifications. Awareness of these findings may help in assessing concordance between imaging and histologic E ndings after percutaneous core biopsy of these rare lesions.
