Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia of the breast, imaging and clinical perspective: A review.

ABSTRACT

Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia (PASH) is a benign breast pathology, which most commonly presents incidentally along with other breast pathologies. The etiology and pathogenesis of PASH are still unknown; however, there is some evidence suggesting PASH is hormone dependent. The clinical history, presentation, and imaging appearance of PASH are variable. Clinically, PASH has a wide spectrum of presentations, from being silent to gigantomastia. On imaging, PASH demonstrates various benign to suspicious features. Here we summarize PASH's clinical presentation, histopathology, imaging features, and management.
