Overview

Fibroadenoma may be classified according to microscopic histopathological analysis into four subtypes, which include juvenile fibroadenoma, complex fibroadenoma, giant fibroadenoma, myxoid fibroadenoma, and cellular fibroadenoma.

Classification

  • Fibroadenoma may be classified according to microscopic histopathological analysis into five subtypes, which include:[1]
  • Juvenile fibroadenoma
  • Complex fibroadenoma
  • Giant fibroadenoma
  • Myxoid fibroadenoma
  • Cellular fibroadenoma
  • The table below differentiates between the main subtypes of fibrodenoma according to microscopic histopathological analysis:[1][2][3]
Fibroadenoma Subtype Description
Juvenile fibroadenoma
  • Commonly found in ages 10 to 18 years.
  • Stromal and epithelial hyperplasia
  • Tapering, thin micropapillae (gynecomastoid hyperplasia)
  • Mitoses is absent
  • Occurs mostly in African Americans
  • Rapid growth
  • Associated with skin ulcerations and prominent veins
  • Referred to as a giant fibroadenoma when it is >5cm, >500g, or replaces more than 80% of the breast


Complex fibroadenoma
  • Excessive proliferation of epithelial cells
  • Apocrine metaplasia
  • Cysts > 3 mm
  • Calcification
  • Sclerosing adenosis
Giant fibroadenoma
  • >5cm in diameter
  • High stromal cellularity
  • Rapid growth
  • Usually seen in pregnant or lactating women
Myxoid fibroadenoma
  • Myxoid stroma
Cellular fibroadenoma
  • Relatively high cellular component
  • Increased mitotic rate
  • Absence of calcification and sclerosing adenosis
  • Sometimes referred to as juvenile fibroadenoma
