ABSTRACT: Nipple adenoma is a rare
benign condition that simulates malignancy. A 37-year-old woman presented with
unilateral bloody nipple discharge for 1-year duration followed by severe
nipple erosion. As biopsy revealed nipple adenoma and therefore, complete local
excision was done. The final histopathology showed florid papillomatosis which
was adequately excised. Nipple adenoma although rare entity this should be
included in the differential diagnosis of any nipple erosion such as carcinoma
and Paget’s disease of the breast specially when associated with bloody
discharge in premenopausal women.
