Juvenile Fibroadenoma: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Breast disorders in adolescents are rare and are mostly benign. They may present as congenital anomalies, infections, mastodynia, nipple discharge, or breast tumors, which are generally benign. Fibroepithelial tumors, the most common group, represent a heterogeneous category including benign, borderline, and malignant entities such as phyllodes tumors. Differentiating these tumors, particularly the various types of fibroadenomas, requires histopathological examination due to the similarity of their radiological features and the heterogeneity of lesions. Recognizing the true nature of these lesions is crucial to avoid overlooking malignant forms with metastatic potential. Giant juvenile fibroadenoma is a rare benign fibroepithelial tumor that cannot be reliably distinguished from phyllodes tumors prior to histopathological examination.
