Abstract
Juvenile fibro adenoma comprises about 4% of the total fibro adenomas. The incidence of giant juvenile fibro adenomas is merely 0.5% of all the fibro adenomas. Bilateral giant juvenile fibro adenomas are extremely rare. Fibro adenomas in breast arise from hyperplasia of terminal duct lobular units, and usually grow up to 2-3 cm in size. Giant fibro adenoma occurs rarely in adolescence and they usually measure larger than 5 cm in diameter. Treatment usually ranges from simple excision to subcutaneous mastectomy with reconstruction of breast. We report a case of giant fibro adenoma presented as 14 x 12 cm mass in the right breast weighing about 850 grams .Patient was successfully treated by excision and reduction mammoplasty with good cosmetic outcome. We are presenting a case of giant juvenile fibro adenomas in a 15-year-old girl which was diagnosed by fine-needle aspiration cytology and confirmed on histopathology. As these tumors are mostly benign, breast-conserving surgery is done so that patient can lead a normal life without psychological trauma.
