To examine the occurrence of breast fibroadenomas in postmenopausal patients referred for breast biopsy.
A retrospective review of breast biopsy outcome and of patient demographics, including menstrual and hormonal status.
The Tucson Breast Center, a large outpatient breast cancer detection clinic affiliated with the University of Arizona Health Sciences Center in Tucson, Arizona.
All women seen at the Tucson Breast Center between 1985 and 1990 who were referred for breast biopsy.
A total of 100 fibroadenomas were found in 709 breast biopsies whose results were known. Fifty-two of these were in premenopausal women and 44 in postmenopausal women; the menopausal status of four women was unknown. In postmenopausal women, 11 of the 44 patients reported hormone use. Fibroadenomas constituted 20% (39 of 195) of the benign masses and 12% (39 of 339) of all breast masses in postmenopausal women. Fibroadenomas constituted 10% (44 of 447) of all biopsies in postmenopausal women, including those with breast masses, abnormal calcifications, or other lesions.
Noncalcified fibroadenomas of the breast are not confined to young women and may constitute a small but noteworthy proportion of lesions coming to breast biopsy in postmenopausal women.
研究因乳腺活检前来就诊的绝经后患者乳腺纤维腺瘤的发生率。
对乳腺活检结果以及患者人口统计学资料（包括月经和激素状态）进行回顾性分析。
图森乳腺中心，隶属于亚利桑那大学健康科学中心的一家大型门诊乳腺癌检测诊所，位于亚利桑那州图森市。
1985年至1990年间在图森乳腺中心就诊并接受乳腺活检的所有女性。
在709例已知活检结果的病例中，共发现100例纤维腺瘤。其中52例为绝经前女性，44例为绝经后女性；4名女性的绝经状态未知。在绝经后女性中，44例患者中有11例报告使用过激素。纤维腺瘤占绝经后女性良性肿块的20%（195例中的39例），占所有乳腺肿块的12%（339例中的39例）。纤维腺瘤占绝经后女性所有活检病例的10%（447例中的44例），包括有乳腺肿块、异常钙化或其他病变的病例。
乳腺非钙化纤维腺瘤并非仅限于年轻女性，在绝经后女性因乳腺活检而送检的病变中可能占一小部分但值得关注。
