Abstract
Infiltrating syringomatous adenoma (ISA) of the nipple, first described by Rosen in
1983 (Am J Surg Pathol, 1983, 7, 739–745), is a rare benign tumor that can be misdiagnosed as a malignancy.
ISA is characterized by its specific location in the subareolar region, its distinct
histologic appearance resembling sweat duct or syringomatous tumors, and its locally
infiltrating growth. We describes a case of ISA of the nipple presenting as microcalcification
that was found on screening mammography. We also reviewed previously reported radiologic
features of ISA.
