Abstract Breast tubular adenomas are rare epithelial proliferative tumors. They are diagnosed mainly in young premenopausal women. We describe a case of tubular breast adenoma in a 15-year-old girl. Clinical examination revealed a breast lump with benign clinical characteristics. Imaging studies showed a complex mass with solid and cystic elements. In the absence of typical characteristics of a benign mass, a lumpectomy was performed. Histological findings were suggestive of a tubular breast adenoma. Preoperative diagnosis of breast benign mass is difficult and even the histopathology of a biopsy can be misleading. Surgical excision is necessary to establish a definitive diagnosis.
