Repeatedly Recurrent Supernumerary Bilateral Fibroadenoma Breast with Family History of Breast Cancer in a Young Girl: A Surgeon’s Dilemma
Artigo | IMSEAR | ID: sea-222102
ABSTRACT
More than 4 fibroadenomas in a single breast are uncommon. Repeated recurrences of supernumerary fibroadenomas, in multiple numbers, after excision, are extremely rare. The malignant potential of breast fibroadenoma increases significantly in women with complex fibroadenomas, proliferative disease or a family history of breast cancer. Such a condition poses a management dilemma to the surgeon. Prophylactic bilateral mastectomy is controversial, and requires a rigorous assessment of risk benefit ratio and a better assessment of psychosocial impact and ethical issues. More often than not, the patient prefers repeat excision and close surveillance as the most agreeable course of action; the relatively higher risk of malignancy notwithstanding. Repeated excision as new fibroadenomas appear seems to be a feasible option.
