Cyclosporin A-induced fibroadenomas of the breast: report of five cases.
Five female patients undergoing cyclosporin A therapy had newly developed breast masses. Masses were bilateral in three of the five patients and palpable in four patients. The imaging findings were suggestive of fibroadenomas, and biopsy results were used to confirm the diagnosis. With the development of new breast lesions in patients after transplantation surgery, the diagnosis of cyclosporin A-induced fibroadenomas should be considered.
