Giant fibroadenoma in the left breast: Report of a case

Fibroadenoma is a generally common benign, non-cancerous lump that appears suddenly and can be very difficult to distinguish from cancer. The exact cause of fibroadenomas is unknown. About 10% of women worldwide are estimated to experience it once in their lifetime. It can affect a female at any age, even though it is more common in the age group of 20–30. In this case report, we presented a 29-year-old female patient who had a huge fibroadenoma in her left breast, measuring 10 × 8 cm. The patient underwent a lumpectomy and was recovering well. In general, the prognosis is good, but it is important to have multidisciplinary team members to properly manage the patient.

Abstract

Fibroadenoma is a generally common benign, non-cancerous lump that appears suddenly and can be very difficult to distinguish from cancer. The exact cause of fibroadenomas is unknown. About 10% of women worldwide are estimated to experience it once in their lifetime. It can affect a female at any age, even though it is more common in the age group of 20–30. In this case report, we presented a 29-year-old female patient who had a huge fibroadenoma in her left breast, measuring 10 × 8 cm. The patient underwent a lumpectomy and was recovering well. In general, the prognosis is good, but it is important to have multidisciplinary team members to properly manage the patient.
