Anogenital mammary-like glands may give rise to various pathologic
lesions identical to those known in mammary pathology. Tumor
occurring in the anogenital region is extremely rare. The histogenetic
origin of this tumor is controversial as it is being debated whether such
lesions evolve from ectopic breast tissue and most recently, anogenital
mammary-like gland. We report a 28-year-old girl who presented
with a painless mass in the anogenital region, which was subsequently
excised. Microscopic examination revealed morphologic pattern
characteristic of benign phyllodes tumor with pseudoangiomatous
stromal hyperplasia. We present this case to emphasize the
importance of recognizing this uncommon lesion occurring at an
extremely unusual site. We also discuss the histogenesis of phyllodes
tumor and related lesions occurring in the anogenital region in light
of the current literature along with a brief review of the previously
reported cases of anogenital mammary-like glands.
