<pre>
Right Partial Breast, Lumpectomy:
- Fibroadenoma.
</pre>
====Micro====
The sections show a lesion with a pale mildly cellular stroma, and bland glandular elements. No apparent proliferative activity is present. The border is well-circumscribed where seen. Focally, the lesion approaches the inked margin; partial lesion transection cannot be excluded.
No cytologic atypia is present. No leaf-like architecture is present. No stromal overgrowth is seen. No calcifications are evident. No large cysts are seen.
===Complex===
<pre>
Right Breast, Lumpectomy:
- Complex fibroadenoma with apocrine metaplasia.
- Negative for carcinoma in situ and negative for malignancy.
</pre>
====Micro====
The sections show a lesion with a pale mildly cellular stroma, and bland glandular elements. Minimal mitotic activity is present (2 mitosis/10 HPF, where 1 HPF ~ 0.2376 mm*mm). The border is well-circumscribed where seen. The lesion was shelled-out.
No cytologic atypia is present. No leaf-like architecture is present. No stromal overgrowth is seen. No calcifications are evident. No large cysts are seen.

'''Fibrocystic breast changes''', also '''fibrocystic changes''' (abbreviated '''FCC'''), are common changes in the [[breast pathology|breast]] and considered a normal finding.<ref name=pmid25905225>{{Cite journal | last1 = De Groot | first1 = LJ. | last2 = Beck-Peccoz | first2 = P. | last3 = Chrousos | first3 = G. | ...
==General==
*Really common - considered a normal finding.<ref name=pmid25905225/>
*Benign.
==Microscopic==
Features:
*Dilated glands - '''key change'''.
**Glands normal: two cell layers present.
*Often seen together with ''apocrine metaplasia''.

'''Flat epithelial atypia''', abbreviated '''FEA''', is a benign breast lesion that is associated with an increased risk of subsequent [[breast cancer]].
==General==
Epidemiology:
*Associated with [[ADH]] & [[DCIS]]; may represent a non-obligate precursor lesion of ADH & DCIS.<ref name=pmid18384213>{{Cite journal | last1 = Lerwill | first1 = MF. | title = Flat epithelial atypia of the breast. | journal = Arch Pathol Lab Med | volume = 132 | issue = 4 | pages = 615-21 | month = Apr | year = 2008...
*Low risk of progression to invasive malignancy.<ref name=pmid12927037>{{Cite journal | last1 = Schnitt | first1 = SJ. | title = The diagnosis and management of pre-invasive breast disease: flat epithelial atypia--classification, pathologic features and clinical significance. | journal = Breast Cancer Res | volume = 5...
Management:
*Excision.
==Microscopic==
Features:
*"Flat" ~ three cells thick.
*Hypercellular gland -- several layers.
*Columnar cell morphology.
*+/-Apical snouts.
DDx:
*[[Columnar cell change]].
*Columnar cell hyperplasia.
*[[ADH]].
*Flat [[DCIS]] (clinging carcinoma).
*Apocrine cyst - granular cytoplasm.
*[[Tubular carcinoma]] - should be considered due to the association.
