“…Most fibroadenomas grow very slowly and might even subside naturally; therefore, they can be treated conservatively and followed up on a regular basis . Although the disease is rarely malignant, it may bring patient obvious discomfort due to excessive breast enlargements, such as back pain or eczema at the skin folds.…”

Background and Objectives: Giant juvenile fibroadenoma (GJF) is a rare benign tumor that disfiguring affects the breast shape and quality of life of patients. This study aimed to report the experience of GJF management.Methods: A Wise-pattern skin reducing tumor resection followed by immediate breast reconstruction with a dermal flap pocket was used. The long-term outcomes were assessed retrospectively by BREAST-Q questionnaire from 2008 to 2018. Results:The study included eight patients with GJF. All patients achieved satisfactory results without severe complications. The BREAST-Q revealed that postoperative scores for satisfaction with breasts (69.3 ± 17.6) and sexual wellbeing (62.3 ± 27.6) were higher than the normative scores. The psychosocial wellbeing (69.7 ± 14.6) and physical wellbeing-chest (86.8 ± 13.0) scores were slightly lower than the normative scores.Conclusion: Although GJF is a benign tumor, it should be surgically removed. And the Wise-pattern skin reducing tumor resection with immediate breast reconstruction is a proper way to improve patients' satisfaction with breast size and shape and quality of life.

“…10 Although rare, subcutaneous mastectomy can be performed for giant fibroadenomas if required and after mastectomy, patients mostly undergo reconstructive surgery. 11 The size of tumor, age of the patient and the stage of sexual maturity should be considered to perform appropriate surgical approach. However, the recurrence rate is about 33% at the 5-year follow-up after excision.…”

Juvenile giant fibroadenoma is a benign breast tumor and rare variant of the fibroadenomas. Clinical presentation is usually a painless, solitary and unilateral breast mass. It accounts for 0.5%-2% of all fibroadenomas and exact etiology is not known; however, hormonal influences are thought to be contributing factors. We present a case of a 20 cm diameter giant juvenile fibroadenoma of the breast in a 14-year-old girl. The patient was suffering from a painless, progressively enlarging mass for 1 year. Ultrasound revealed fibroadenoma and total surgical excision was performed. The patient is doing well in ten months of follow up.

“…10 Si bien es poco frecuente, puede hacerse una mastectomía subcutánea de los fibroadenomas gigantes, de ser necesario, y después de la cirugía, la mayoría de las pacientes se someten a una cirugía plástica. 11 Deben tenerse en cuenta el tamaño del tumor, la edad de la paciente y su madurez sexual para establecer el abordaje quirúrgico correspondiente. Sin embargo, la tasa de recurrencia es de aproximadamente el 33% en el seguimiento a los 5 años después de la excisión.…”

Presentación de casos clínicos RESUMENEl fibroadenoma gigante juvenil es un tumor de mama benigno y una variante rara de los fibroadenomas. La presentación clínica suele ser una masa tumoral indolora en la mama, aislada y unilateral. Representa entre el 0,5% y el 2% de todos los fibroadenomas y se desconoce su etiología precisa. Sin embargo, se cree que las hormonas son factores contribuyentes. En este artículo presentamos el caso de un fibroadenoma gigante juvenil de 20 cm de diámetro en la mama de una niña de 14 años. La paciente tenía una masa tumoral indolora, que se había agrandado progresivamente durante 1 año. La ecografía reveló la presencia de un fibroadenoma y se realizó una excisión quirúrgica. Tras diez meses de seguimiento, la paciente se encuentra bien. Palabras clave: neoplasias de mama, fibroadenoma gigante juvenil, cirugía.
