Leiomyomas are benign mesenchymal stromal tumors of smooth muscle; while these are more traditionally found in the uterus, in rare cases, they can also be found in the breast, particularly in the subareolar region. Clinically and radiographically, these tumors are very similar to fibroadenomas but can be definitively distinguished based on distinctive histopathological features. Surgical management for breast leiomyomas has previously included procedures ranging from lumpectomy to mastectomy; however, resection of the tumor with free margins is the most well-recognized treatment for breast leiomyomas.
平滑肌瘤是平滑肌的良性间充质基质肿瘤;虽然这些肿瘤传统上多见于子宫,但在罕见情况下,也可出现在乳房,尤其是乳晕下区域。在临床和影像学上,这些肿瘤与纤维腺瘤非常相似,但可根据独特的组织病理学特征进行明确区分。乳房平滑肌瘤的手术治疗以前包括从肿块切除到乳房切除等多种术式;然而,完整切除肿瘤是乳房平滑肌瘤最公认的治疗方法。
