Background: Ultrasound propagation velocity was measured experimentally in normal, fibroadenoma and ductal carcinoma breast tissues, in order to distinguish normal breast tissue from tumors. Materials and methods: In quantitative measurements of ultrasound velocity, 403 breast tissue images were selected, comprising 130 normal breast tissue, 130 fibroadenoma, and 143 ductal carcinoma tumors. Th...

Juvenile fibroadenoma is an uncommon histologic variant of fibroadenoma that frequently shows a remarkable and rapid growth. The development of a carcinoma within a fibroadenoma, either in situ or invasive, is a rare condition. We encountered a 36-year-old woman with a palpable mass in the right breast. The radiologic findings were indicative of a fibroadenoma in the breast. Sonographic guided ...

Fibroadenoma is the most common breast tumor in women. Malignant transformation occurs rarely within fibroadenoma at older ages. Clinicians, radiologists, and pathologists need to be aware of malignant transformation within fibroadenomas. Radiologic studies play an important role in the diagnosis of fibroadenoma; however, radiologic findings are often nonspecific for malignancy and may appear c...

Fibroadenoma of the breast is a common, benign condition. It is common among women of child-bearing age. A conservative approach for these benign tumors is the standard of care since the prevalence of breast cancer arising from a fibroadenoma is very low (0.02%). Fibroadenomas can be followed over time, rather than excised. Carcinoma-in-situ and invasive carcinoma have both been reported to ari...

Breast masses are uncommon in children and adolescent. Giant fibroadenoma account for 0.5%-2% of all fibroadenoma& (and the) exact etiology is not known. Fibroadenomas tend to grow slowly and often reach a maximum diameter of 2-3 cm in size. Among breast masses pathologic lesion such as giant fibroadenoma, phylloides tumor and virginal breast hypertrophy (juvenile macromastia) rapidly & massive...

The article describes a clinical case of giant fibroadenoma in 13-year-old girl, whose size was 20 cm, as well brief review the scientific literature on benign neoplasms mammary glands young patients. Giant fibroadenomas account for 0.5 to 2% all fibroadenomas. In children and adolescents, ultrasound is main method diagnosing fibroadenoma. Fibroadenoma needs be differentiated from phylloid tumo...

BACKGROUND Fibroadenoma 5 cm or more is called giant fibroadenoma. Giant fibroadenoma can distort the shape of breast and causes asymmetry, so it should be excised. There are several techniques for excision of giant fibroadenoma. In our technique we remove them through cosmetically acceptable circumareolar incision to maintain the shape and symmetry of breast. The objectives were to assess the ...

Fibroadenoma is the most common breast tumor in adolescent and young women. Fibroadenomas that consist of sclerosing adenosis, papillary apocrine metaplasia, epithelial calcifications, and/or cysts greater than 3 mm are considered as complex fibroadenoma. The relative risk of developing breast cancer in patients with complex fibroadenoma is increased, compared to women with noncomplex fibroaden...

Fibroadenoma of 5 cm or more is called as giant fibroadenoma. Cosmesis an important consideration while making breast incisions, especially in young adults. In our case series 15 girls age group 18-30 years having fibroadenoma were considered for the study and underwent Swiss roll method excision. 3 4 incisions made ≤6 >6 size respectively. Post-operative scars cosmetic results documented. s...
