  • Fibroadenomas were the most common diagnosis in females (71.7%).
  • One case of adenocarcinoma was identified in a female.
  • All male patients presented with gynecomastia.

    • Conclusions:

    • Fibroadenomas and gynecomastia are the predominant causes of breast masses in adolescents.
    • Malignancy is rare but must be considered.
    • Surgical management should be tailored to the specific diagnosis.
