ABSTRACT

A 10 years prepubertal age girl presented with huge 17 X 14 cm painless breast lump of four months duration. Based on the cytological, imaging and clinical findings a preliminary diagnosis of benign proliferative breast lesion closest to giant fibroadenoma was offered. Giant fibroadenomas are rare in young girls and are difficult to differentiate from low grade phylloides tumor by cytology/ imaging. Giant fibroadenomas have to be differentiated from phylloides tumor by the lack of leaf-like structures and stromal cell atypia and from the breast hamartoma and asymmetric breast hypertrophy in girls by the lack of mammary lobules. Giant fibroadenoma should take its due place in the diagnostic algorithm of the breast tumors. Marginal excision with nipple areola sparing and close follow up should be the standard of treatment in young girls.
