Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia
Diagnosis in short

Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia. H&E stain.
LM abundant breast stroma, small complex inter-anastomosing (blood vessel/capillary-like) channels
LM DDx fibroadenoma, low-grade angiosarcoma
Stains Bcl-2 +ve, vimentin +ve, CD34 -ve, CD31 -ve, factor VIII -ve
Site breast
Signs +/-breast mass
Prevalence uncommon
Prognosis benign
Clin. DDx fibroadenoma
Treatment excision

Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia, abbreviated PASH, is benign lesion is breast pathology.

It is also known as nodular myofibroblastic stromal hyperplasia of the mammary gland.[1]

General

  • Benign lesion.
  • Thought to arise due to myofibroblast abnormality - though not well understood.[2]
  • An incidental finding or occasionally a mass.[3]
  • May be suspicious on imaging (BI-RADS 4 or 5).[4]

Gross

Features:[2]

  • May form mass.
    • Grey-white & firm.
    • Well-circumscribed borders.

Microscopic

Features:[5][6]

  • Abundant breast stromal.
  • Small, complex, inter-anastomosing (blood vessel/capillary-like) channels - key feature.
    • Pseudoangiomatous = blood vessel-like.

Notes:

  • May mimic angiosarcoma at low power; PASH may have the same architecture but lack nuclear atypia.
  • Occasionally has mitotic activity - proliferative PASH.

DDx:

Images

  • PASH - low mag. (WC/Nephron)

  • PASH - intermed. mag. (WC/Nephron)

  • PASH - high mag. (WC/Nephron)

IHC

Findings:[2]

  • CD34 +ve.
  • Vimentin +ve.
  • Bcl-2 +ve.[7][8]
  • Factor VIII -ve.
  • CD31 -ve.[7]
