Adenosis of the breast is a benign lobulocentric proliferative process in which lobules are enlarged and increased in number in addition to an increased number of glands within each lobule.
Pathologically subclassified into three main subtypes which include:
- sclerosing adenosis of the breast
- blunt duct adenosis of the breast
- microglandular adenosis of the breast
- Tubular adenosis
- Adenosis in fibroadenoma
