Conclusion

Periductal stromal sarcoma in a child is very rare and behaves similarly to the disease in adults, requiring close follow-up.

Supporting Evidence

  • The tumor was well circumscribed and measured 1.5 cm × 1 cm.
  • Histological examination revealed a biphasic proliferation with benign ductal elements and a sarcomatous stroma.
  • The patient did not show any symptoms or signs of local or distant recurrence after 50 months of follow-up.

Takeaway

A rare type of breast tumor was found in a 14-year-old boy, and after surgery, he didn't have any problems for over four years.

Methodology

The case involved a 14-year-old boy who underwent lumpectomy for a breast nodule, with histological examination confirming the diagnosis.

Limitations

The rarity of the case limits the generalizability of the findings.

Participant Demographics

14-year-old Arabic boy.
