Lactating adenoma is a benign tumor of pregnancy and lactation, found most often in the third trimester of pregnancy and less frequently during lactation. Clinically, it presents itself as a unique and discrete mobile mass. It is a rare benign tumor which the diagnosis requires pathological confirmation. Usually it disappears spontaneously. Chirurgical treatment is offered for aesthetic problems related to the size of the adenoma. The authors report a case of lactating adenoma discovered at eight months of the post partum. Through this case, they discuss the clinical, radiological, histopathological aspects and various therapeutic modalities of this tumor.

Abstract
Lactating adenoma is a benign tumor of pregnancy and lactation, found most often in the third trimester of pregnancy and less frequently during lactation. Clinically, it presents itself as a unique and discrete mobile mass. It is a rare benign tumor which the diagnosis requires pathological confirmation. Usually it disappears spontaneously. Chirurgical treatment is offered for aesthetic problems related to the size of the adenoma. The authors report a case of lactating adenoma discovered at eight months of the post partum. Through this case, they discuss the clinical, radiological, histopathological aspects and various therapeutic modalities of this tumor.
