Giant Fibroadenomas of the Left Breast in an Adolescent Female: A Case Report

Giant fibroadenomas are rare benign lesions usually seen in juvenile to adolescent females. Present case describes an 18-year-old adolescent female presenting with multiple bilateral fibroadenomas, including giant fibroadenomas in the left breast. Diagnosis was confirmed through clinical examination, ultrasonography, and histopathological evaluation. Due to the large size of the lesions in the left breast causing breast disfigurement, surgical excision was performed in a staged manner using a periareolar incision to ensure optimal cosmetic outcomes. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, with no recurrence or complications. This case highlights the importance of a comprehensive diagnostic approach and individualised surgical management in patients with multiple and giant fibroadenomas to achieve both therapeutic and aesthetic goals.

Abstract

Giant fibroadenomas are rare benign lesions usually seen in juvenile to adolescent females. Present case describes an 18-year-old adolescent female presenting with multiple bilateral fibroadenomas, including giant fibroadenomas in the left breast. Diagnosis was confirmed through clinical examination, ultrasonography, and histopathological evaluation. Due to the large size of the lesions in the left breast causing breast disfigurement, surgical excision was performed in a staged manner using a periareolar incision to ensure optimal cosmetic outcomes. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, with no recurrence or complications. This case highlights the importance of a comprehensive diagnostic approach and individualised surgical management in patients with multiple and giant fibroadenomas to achieve both therapeutic and aesthetic goals.
