Fibroepithelial polyp of nipple: A rare benign lesion

Fibroepithelial polyp (FEP) is a common benign lesion usually found over areas such as the neck, axilla, and groin, while occurrence over the nipple is rarely encountered in clinical practice. Due to its uncommon presentation, a nipple FEP can resemble several benign and malignant breast conditions, often causing concern for both the patient and the treating clinician. We present the case of a 21-year-old young woman who noticed a gradually increasing painless growth arising from the nipple over a prolonged duration. Clinical assessment and ultrasonography suggested a benign lesion, and complete surgical excision was performed. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of FEP. The post-operative recovery was uneventful, with a satisfactory cosmetic outcome and no recurrence on follow-up. This case underlines the importance of considering rare benign lesions in the evaluation of nipple masses and highlights histopathological examination as the definitive method for diagnosis.
