"Tubular adenomas are rare tumours of the breast, that account for only 0.13–1.7% of benign breast lesions 5. The patient age ranges between 13-76 years; however, the lesions are seen most commonly in young females, with greater than 90% cases being discovered in females below the age of 40 years (mean age=31 years) 5. Rarely, they have also been reported in male patients. The lesion size ranges from 1.0 cm to more than 7.5 cm but is barely greater than 5 cm 5."

"In young females, no calcifications are seen in the tubular adenomas and they closely resemble non-calcified fibroadenomas; however, calcifications (irregular or tightly packed punctate) may be seen in older patients, which need tissue diagnosis to rule out the possibility of malignancy. Rarely, the lesions may exhibit ill-defined margins 5."
"There is significant sonographic imaging overlap with fibroadenoma and differentiation can be impossible. They are typically seen as well defined hypoechoic lesions with relatively well-defined margins. There may be posterior acoustic enhancement."
