Largest giant juvenile fibroadenoma of the breast

Juvenile giant fibroadenoma is a rare benign tumour of the breast accounting for 0.5% of all fibroadenomas. The presentation can be very dramatic and may result in breast deformity and may mimic a rare malignant tumour. It is indeed a great challenge to provide the best treatment for these patients in terms of clinical and psychological care. Meticulous surgical planning is required to ensure a fine balance between adequate resection and the best cosmetic outcome for a developing breast. Every effort should be made to preserve the developing breast irrespective of the size of the tumour as it is in this case. We report the world's largest juvenile fibroadenoma of the breast in a 16-year-old girl who presented to our hospital with a 28×25 cm mass on her left breast in which breast conservation was done. A detailed literature search and management of these lesions are discussed.
