title: [Hormone receptors in fibroadenomas of the breast].
abstract: This study is about hormone receptivity carried out on 84 fibroadenomata of the breast. In displaying the intracellular receptors for oestradiol and progesterone it shows that hormone receptivity was maximum in benign conditions as they were starting in young women with a short clinical history and with most marked cellular density on anatomo-pathological examination. We compare our results with those that were obtained in cases of cancer of the breast and show in parallel the plasma steroid levels that were obtained in women with benign pathological conditions of the breast.
