A prepubertal giant juvenile fibroadenoma in a 12-year-old girl: Case report and brief literature review

Abstract

Giant juvenile fibroadenomas should be included in differential diagnosis of a breast mass in prepubertal girls despite the fact that they are very rare in prepuberty, tend to appear later during adolescence and their prevalence is lower in Caucasians. The remarkable size and the rapid growth of the lesion should not be ruled out in the diagnostic process of an adolescent breast.
