  • Title: Mammotome-assisted removal with minimal incision of large juvenile fibroadenoma of breast: A case report.
    Author: Wang T, Zhu L.
    Journal: Medicine (Baltimore); 2020 Mar; 99(10):e19442. PubMed ID: 32150097.
    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: Giant juvenile breast fibroadenoma can cause deformity and should be excised. Cosmesis is an important consideration in young patients. PATIENT CONCERNS: The patient was admitted to our hospital for a mass of 6 × 6 cm in her left breast. DIAGNOSE: A giant juvenile fibroadenoma. INTERVENTIONS: With the help of Mammotome, we translated the larger mass to smaller one and removed it via a small circumareolar incision with no residual tumor. OUTCOMES: There was no recurrence of disease after 2 years. CONCLUSION: Mammotome-combined resection is a new approach that can be used to excise giant fibroadenomas with a minimal incision, and provides a favorable contour to the breast.
