Intraductal fibroadenoma presenting with nipple bleeding in an adolescent: a case report and literature review.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
A 12-year-old Chinese adolescent girl presented with a 2-month history of left nipple bleeding. Physical examination revealed bloody and brownish nipple discharge. Ultrasonography identified a 1 mm solid mass within a dilated duct, and MRI showed heterogeneous enhancement. Surgical exploration revealed a well-defined, medium-textured mass within the duct, which was completely excised. Histopathological analysis confirmed an intraductal fibroadenoma with stromal infarction and hemorrhage, explaining the nipple discharge. Postoperatively, the patient recovered well without recurrence during a 12-month follow-up. Fibroadenoma, the most common benign breast lesion in adolescents, arises from estrogen-sensitive intralobular fibroblasts and may involve ductal structures, as in this case. Spontaneous infarction of intraductal fibroadenoma is exceptionally rare and can present with bloody discharge, necessitating differentiation from other intraductal lesions such as ductal adenoma and intraductal papilloma. This case highlights the importance of timely diagnosis and management of breast lesions in adolescents, emphasizing the need to distinguish between physiological changes and pathological conditions. The report also discusses the etiology of spontaneous infarction in intraductal fibroadenoma and its clinical implications, contributing to the understanding of this rare presentation in pediatric patients.
