JUVENILE FIBROADENOMA OF THE BREAST: A CASE REPORT AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE

Introduction:-Juvenile fibroadenoma is a rare benign fibroepithelial breast tumor characterized by rapid growth and large size, causing significant breast asymmetry mainly affecting adolescents. Its diagnosis may be challenging due to similarities with phyllodes tumors. Patient and observation:-We report the case of a 15-year-old girl with a family history of breast neoplasia who presented with a rapidly enlarging right breast mass. Physical examination revealed a firm, well-circumscribed, mobile mass measuring approximately 100 97mm. Breast ultrasonography demonstrated a large, homogeneous hypoechoic lesion classified as BI - RADS 4. Histopathological examination confir med the diagnosis of juvenile fibroadenoma. The patient underwent breast-conserving surgical excision by enucleation.
