- Abstract
Fibroadenomas are the most common benign breast lesions in adolescents. Fibroadenomas larger than 5 cm, weighing more than 500 g, or replacing at least 80% of the breast are termed giant fibroadenomas. Giant fibroadenomas usually warrant surgical excision as they alter the normal breast architecture. We report a case of probably the largest described bilateral juvenile giant fibroadenomas in a young 12-year-old girl managed with subcutaneous mastectomy and free nipple areola complex full thickness graft. The case highlights the rarity of disease presentation and difficulty in decision-making in selecting the best surgical option for such patients.
