  • Title: Recurrent juvenile fibroadenoma of the breast in an adolescent: A case report.
    Author: Huang IC, Li PC, Ding DC.
    Journal: Medicine (Baltimore); 2018 May; 97(20):e10765. PubMed ID: 29768365.
    Abstract:
    RATIONALE: Most breast masses are benign and are rare in adolescent girls. The most frequent tumor is fibroadenoma. Juvenile fibroadenoma is a rare variant of fibroadenoma and is characterized by rapidly enlarging, painless, and unilateral masses occurring at ages between 10 and 18 years. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 17-year-old girl who first presented to a hospital due to a left breast tumor. DIAGNOSES: Juvenile fibroadenoma of the left breast. INTERVENTIONS: She underwent fibroadenoma excision, but she complained of a mass that presented in her left breast 3 months after surgery. After 2 years of observation, the mass became tender and enlarged. We conducted a wide excision of the tumor. Recurrent juvenile fibroadenoma with hypercellular fibromyxoid stroma of the breast was noted. OUTCOMES: The patient is in good general condition without tumor relapses during the 4 months of follow-up. LESSONS: Recurrent fibroadenomas, particularly those of a large size with a rapid growth rate, in the same breast suggest a high possibility of transformation. We recommend wide tumor resection.
