  • Title: [A case of giant fibroadenoma of the breast in adolescence].
    Author: Cannizzaro MA, Rasà G, Nicotra P, Acquaviva A, Turrisi A.
    Journal: Chir Ital; 1979 Oct; 31(5):815-25. PubMed ID: 232012.
    Abstract:
    Starting from a personal observation of a giant fibroadenoma of the breast in a girl aged 13, the authors review the possible causes of massive swelling of the breast in adolescence. Next, they analyze the salient anatomoclinical aspects of giant fibroadenoma, benign phylloid cystosarcoma, and virginal mammary hypertrophy. The conclude that the surgeon should do everything possible to arrive at the histological diagnosis of fibroadenoma intraoperative--that is, extemporaneously--in order to avoid treating as a malignancy a possible benign phylloid cystosarcoma.
