Wise Pattern Mammoplasty: The Ideal Option for Giant Fibroadenoma Resection

Fibroadenoma is a benign tumor of the breast and mainly affects women in early adolescence. Giant fibroadenomas are less common and can be misdiagnosed with breast hypertrophy, pseudo-angiomatous stromal hyperplasia, or phyllodes. Hence, a pre-operative biopsy is mandatory for diagnosis and surgical planning. Wise pattern reduction mammoplasty is ideal for the resection of fibroadenomas. Here, we present a case of a 23-year-old woman who presented with a breast lump diagnosed as giant fibroadenoma. She underwent complete tumor resection using cosmetic wise pattern mammoplasty that is considered one of the best options to preserve the breast shape with negligible deformity.

Abstract

Fibroadenoma is a benign tumor of the breast and mainly affects women in early adolescence. Giant fibroadenomas are less common and can be misdiagnosed with breast hypertrophy, pseudo-angiomatous stromal hyperplasia, or phyllodes. Hence, a pre-operative biopsy is mandatory for diagnosis and surgical planning. Wise pattern reduction mammoplasty is ideal for the resection of fibroadenomas. Here, we present a case of a 23-year-old woman who presented with a breast lump diagnosed as giant fibroadenoma. She underwent complete tumor resection using cosmetic wise pattern mammoplasty that is considered one of the best options to preserve the breast shape with negligible deformity.
