Abstract: Tubular adenomas are rare benign epithelial tumors of the breast accounting for only 0.13% to 1.7% of all benign breast lesions. Preoperative diagnosis is often difficult as they mimic fibroadenomas both clinically as well asradiologically. Histopathological examination is necessary for correct diagnosis.We describe a case of a breast lump in young femalewhich was diagnosed as fibroadenoma clinically as well as on FNAC. Surgical excision was done and on histopathological examination a diagnosis of tubular adenoma with a concurrent fibroadenoma was made. The development of tubular adenoma alongwithfibroadenoma in the same breast concurrently as seen in our case is a very rare occurrence.
