Abstract
47 figures and 2 tables are the core of evidence presented in this discussion of the relatedness of estrogen to breast tumors. A pathologic study of 95 cases of gynecomastia, 25 cases of virginal hypertrophy, and 450 cases of fibroadenoma shows the similarity of these lesions, characterized by a developmentally responsive fibroepithelial growth occurring in both males and females under normal and abnormal conditions. That prolonged (developmental) and uninterrupted stimulation by estrogen rather than brief high concentrations is necessary for production of these conditions is supported by the following: 1) these hypertrophies are easily produced in male animals when pathologic concentrations of estrogen are present; 2) these conditions are prevalent in prepuberty in girls, when small but steady estrogen breast secretions occur for 3-5 years before menstrual onset; 3) these conditions occur or are exacerbated during the latter 2 trimesters of pregnancy; 4) experimental injection of repeated small doses of estrogen into monkeys is more efficacious in reproducing the diseases than high doses given over short periods; and 5) the bio-assay of these pathologic tissues demonstrates that affected tissue has a marked capacity to concentrate the hormone. Cystic disease and fibrosarcoma receive similar histological treatment in the text,
