Papillomatosis of breasts

Papillomatosis of the breasts is a proliferative epithelial lesion (epitheliosis) of the breast.[1] Although a rare disease, it is more common in young female adults and is called Juvenile Papillomatosis or Swiss cheese disease. It is most commonly detected as a solitary firm mass located on the upper outer quadrant of the breast and only on one side.[1] Its structure is very similar to papilloma of the breast pathologically.[2]
