| Core Tip |
Breast endometriosis constitutes an exceedingly uncommon extragenital presentation of ectopic endometrial tissue, with only a limited number of histologically verified cases documented globally. Endometriosis is associated with increased risks of breast, endometrial, ovarian, and thyroid cancers; melanoma; and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Given its potential for clinical and radiologic mimicry of malignancy and its implications for surgical management, breast endometriosis warrants awareness among pathologists and breast surgeons. Current genomic research has opened new horizons in both diagnosis and therapy. Surgical excision is the method of choice, offering a permanent cure and no recurrence. |
