Invasive ductal carcinoma within fibroadenoma: a case report.
BACKGROUND
Fibroadenoma is the most common benign tumor of the female breast with the highest incidence before age 30. Fibroadenoma may be associated with fibrocystic changes, proliferative epithelial changes, and extremely rarely, with non-invasive and invasive cancer.


METHODS
We present a rare case of a 39 years old female with invasive ductal carcinoma arising within fibroadenoma.


CONCLUSIONS
There is a low percentage of fibroadenomas harboring carcinoma; however, all breast lumps should be seriously managed; extirpation and histological examination is recommended.
