The incidence of reported pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia (PASH), as well as the variability and severity of clinical presentations, is increasing in the literature. In parallel, several authors posit the need for an improved classification of PASH to avoid possible variables associated with this diagnosis. Here, we present a 25-year-old woman with PASH accompanied by severe bilateral and symmetrical breasts enlargement, highlighting an uncommon clinical presentation of PASH as much as the careful interdisciplinary review and correlation of histology and all available imaging studies to confirm the definitive diagnosis.

Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia (PASH) is a benign proliferation of mammary stroma mostly described as an incidental microscopic finding. Clinically, it can manifest as a palpable, well-circumscribed breast mass or in rare cases as a diffuse bilateral process causing massive breast enlargement. The most postulated theory for aetiology of this condition is hormonal stimulation of mammary myofibroblasts, particularly by progesterone. A definite diagnosis of PASH is based on typical pathological findings like stromal hyperplasia and empty slit-like channels positive for myofibroblastic and negative for endothelial markers. The main clinical differential diagnosis is a fibroadedoma or phylloid tumour, and histologically a low-grade angiosarcoma. There are less than 200 cases of tumorous PASH and less than 20 of diffuse PASH reported so far. Here we present a case report of huge diffuse PASH, that is, to our knowledge, the first in a pregnant woman.

Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia (PASH) of the breast is a pathology that is usually diagnosed by accident during pathological examination of other breast lesions. PASH is an uncommon and benign tumoral lesion of the mammary stroma that can be pathologically mistaken for other tumours, such as phyllodes, fibroadenoma, and sometimes even angiosarcoma. We report the case of a 45-year-old woman with complaints of huge bilateral breast enlargement. This is a rare case of PASH presenting with gigantomastia and involving bilateral breasts and axillae simultaneously. Mammography, ultrasonography, and MRI features are illustrated with histopathological correlation.
