Abstract

Fibroadenoma is the most commonly diagnosed benign tumour in adolescents and young women. It constitute 20 % of all benign breast tumours. Spontaneous infarction in fibroadenoma is rarely seen. We report three such cases of spontaneous infarction of fibroadenoma over varied age groups which posed us with diagnostic dilemma at our every step. The possibility of this entity should be considered while diagnosing the breast lumps.
