Disease of the Day: Microglandular adenosis and its cousin aMGA or atypical microglandular adenosis of the breast. Supposedly in the DDX of tubular carcinoma and both lack a basal cell layer. Tavassoli calls MGA a proliferative breast lesion composed of small round glands and lacking a myoepthelial cell layer. Also has a very collagenous stromal background...
Now how the hell can you reliably tell this from tubular carcinoma? What about case reports of metastasizing MGA?? Is this entity complete BS???
