Abstract The occurrence of foci of fibrosis in benign intraductal papillary proliferations in the female mammary gland can lead to extreme distortion with a pseudo‐invasive pattern that is still often mistaken for carcinoma. The histologic diagnostic criteria which differentiate between this benign lesion and true carcinoma are described in detail in this report. In a series of 30 cases with adequate followup, the benign nature of this lesion was confirmed.
