Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia causing bilateral galactomastia with short-term recurrence after surgery: a case report

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia (PASH) is a rare, benign breast lesion characterized by collagen proliferation, often identified as an incidental microscopic finding. Clinically, it may present as a palpable, well-defined breast mass or, in rare instances, as a diffuse, bilateral process leading to significant breast enlargement. We herein report a case of extensive diffuse PASH with short-term recurrence following lesion resection at another hospital. Because of the severity of symptoms, the patient underwent bilateral mastectomy at our facility. This article reviews the clinical, radiologic, and pathologic features of PASH and emphasizes the importance of an accurate preoperative imaging diagnosis for guiding appropriate treatment.
