Mammotome-assisted removal with minimal incision of large juvenile fibroadenoma of breast: A case report

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 6×6cm 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.
