Cyclosporin A–induced Fibroadenomas of the Breast: Report of Five Cases1

Susan P. Weinstein, MD, Susan G. Orel, MD, Lisa Collazzo, MD, Emily F. Conant, MD, Thomas J. Lawton, MD and Brian Czerniecki, MD, PhD

1 From the Departments of Radiology (S.P.W., S.G.O., E.F.C.) and Surgery (B.C.), University of Pennsylvania Medical Center, 3400 Spruce St, 1 Silverstein Bldg, Philadelphia, PA 19104; the Department of Radiology, Crozer-Chester Medical Center, Upland, Pa (L.C.); and the Division of Hospital Pathology, University of Washington Medical Center, Seattle (T.J.L.). Received June 13, 2000; revision requested July 24; revision received December 22; accepted January 23, 2001. Address correspondence to S.P.W.

Five female patients undergoing cyclosporin A therapy had newly developed breast masses. Masses were bilateral in three of the five patients and palpable in four patients. The imaging findings were suggestive of fibroadenomas, and biopsy results were used to confirm the diagnosis. With the development of new breast lesions in patients after transplantation surgery, the diagnosis of cyclosporin A–induced fibroadenomas should be considered.
