Tumor-forming Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia (PASH) is a rather uncommon breast lesion and only very few cases of tumor-forming PASH were reported from 1986, since the lesion was originally described. In contrast, focal, non-tumor forming PASH may be an incidental microscopic finding in up to 23% of breast biopsies. PASH is a benign proliferative lesion of the breast stroma that is characterized by slit-like pseudovascular spaces lined by endothelial-like spindle cells. It is indeed rare for a discrete breast mass to have PASH as the main pathological feature on histopathology. The breast mass, typically unilateral, was usually diagnosed clinically as a fibroadenoma.When found in tumour form, PASH most commonly manifests as a single, circumscribed, palpable mass in a premenopausal female. The main differential diagnosis histologically are fibroadenoma, phyllodes tumor and angiosarcoma. However, PASH is a benign condition with very good prognosis. Hence possibility of PASH in nodular or tumour form has to be considered when approaching a case of breast lump whose management is different. We report here a case of PASH in tumour form from our Institute.

First Case

INTRODUCTION: Primary breast sarcoma (PBS) was first described in 1887 as a rare heterogeneous neoplasm arising from the mesenchymal tissue of the mammary gland accounting for less than 5% of all body soft-tissue sarcomas and less than 0.1% of all malignant tumors of the breast. CASE PRESENTATION: A 31-year old lady presented with left breast mass which she felt four years before during which the mass increased in size from 1 to 6 cm in the largest diameter, diagnosed clinically as a benign fibroadenoma without any further cytological or histopathological confirmation. Histopathological examination of the excised breast mass reveals undifferentiated, primary stromal sarcoma of the breast (PSSB), which was followed by mastectomy three weeks later with reconstructive breast surgery with a total duration of follow-up of 3 years thereafter. This is the first case of PSSB reported in Jordan. DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION: PSSB is the generic term given to malignant breast tumors thought to arise from the specialized mesenchymal stroma of the breast but lacking an epithelial component with a phylloides pattern. PSSB is difficult to diagnose preoperatively due to its rarity and inadequate imaging methods to establish an exact diagnosis. The histology of the patient mass may be the leading factor for the management of these tumors. Even in very young patients, a progressively growing breast mass should alert the clinician to investigate for malignancy and verify the results by biopsy. Surgery with adequate resection margins represents the only potentially curative modality with prognostic significance. Adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy are not very beneficial. The prognosis is dismal for patients with lymph node involvement and the size of the tumor has a lesser bearing on the outcome.

Papillary carcinoma in the male breast is uncommon. Here, we report a case of a large encapsulated papillary carcinoma (EPC) in a 62-year-old male. The patient presented with a left breast mass of 1-year duration and bloody nipple discharge for several days. Mammography and breast ultrasonography showed a large left breast mass. The initial biopsy demonstrated fat necrosis with acute and chronic inflammation only. Due to clinical suspicion, a repeat biopsy was performed and revealed scant fragments of papillary carcinoma in a background of inflammation. The patient underwent left total mastectomy. Grossly, the breast contained a 9.0 cm entirely cystic lesion lined by a hemorrhagic thick fibrotic wall. No solid area was identified in the cyst. The entire cyst wall was examined under microscopy; only a few sections with papillary carcinoma were identified. The lesion was confined to the cyst wall; so, a diagnosis of EPC was made. Compared to the previously reported EPC cases of male breast, the lesion of this case was unusually cystic, which making the diagnosis challenging. Therefore, awareness of this unusual feature, repeat biopsy when the pathology result is discordant, and extensive sampling of the lesion are essential for making the correct diagnosis and guiding patient management.
