Nipple adenoma is a rare proliferative lesion that originates from the lactiferous ducts of the nipple. Though it is benign, the typical presentation includes suspicious symptoms-a firm nodule, crusting erosion, and/or discharge from the nipple.

We report two cases of this uncommon entity, highlighting the variable clinical presentation and keys to the diagnostic evaluation and management.
