Benign Epithelial Tumours Pathologic Features Any Papilloma: Gross: A lesion arising above the surface that may be sessile or pedunculated (has a pedicle or a neck), simple or branched (finger like projection.) Microscopically: All types have a vascular central core of connective tissue covered by epithelium (which can be either squamous, transitional or columnar)

Adenoma Adenoma Benign tumour of glandular epithelium Encapsulated mass as in thyroid Or Non-capsulated polyp projecting in lumen as in GIT. Cystic mass thus named as cystadenoma May form papillae thus named as papillary cystadenoma (as in ovary) Adenomas arising in endocrine glands leads to hypersecretion of hormones May show varying degrees of epithelial dysplasia Thus can be precancerous as Colonic adenomas

Colonoscopy showing: a single pedunculated polyp multiple polypi
A polyp: a “tumour” or a “mass” that projects above a mucosal surface It can be non neoplastic as nasal polyp (inflammatory) It is commonly used for benign tumours but some malignant tumours can grow as a polyp After the first sentence: ask can you remember a polyp you have taken before??

A female patient 35 year old complained of a breast mass. Case A female patient 35 year old complained of a breast mass. On examination: well circumscribed firm rubbery freely mobile mass was detected. Mammography was done and was reported as a benign breast lesion. It was excised Capsulated Lobulated cut surface
Normal Breast Branching of large ducts (6-10) gives rise to terminal duct lobular unit. The duct & acini of lobules are lined by 2 cell layer: inner cuboidal epithelial cells & outer myoepithelial cells. Lobules are enclosed in loose connective tissue stroma (intralobular). The interlobular stroma is formed of fibrous tissue & adipose tissue.

Compressed ducts by fibrous stroma Fibroadenoma Fibrous capsule Compressed ducts by fibrous stroma Intracanalicular Pattern
Fibroadenoma The tumour is surrounded by a thin fibrous tissue capsule and formed of both glandular (epithelial) & connective tissue (mesenchymal) elements. The glands or ductules: are of variable size & shape lined by 2 cell layer inner epithelial cells and outer myoepithelial cells. Some have patent lumena (pericanalicular pattern) while others have compressed lumena (intracanalicular pattern). The proliferated connective tissue is formed of fibrous tissue
