Pregnancy and Lactation Changes in Fibro-adenoma of Breast

Abstract

The fibro-adenoma is the most common tumour of the breast occurring in young women in the child-bearing period. The firm character of the lesion, the definite encapsulation, and the slow growth over a period of years make the clinical diagnosis relatively easy. The rapid growth of fibro-adenoma during pregnancy and the cystic enlargement during lactation are less well-known features.
