ABSTRACT

Fibroadenoma is the most common benign breast disease (68%) in adolescence (Boisserie-Lacroix 2010). The fibroadenoma is, most often, a simple monitoring and only a large size (> 3 cm) or a modification of the lesion will suggest surgical excision. Giant fibroadenoma is a particular and rare form of fibroadenoma, characterized by an often very large lesion (> 5 cm) with rapid growth, the removal of which alone makes it possible to differentiate it from a phyllodes tumor. The pathophysiology of fibroadenomas remains poorly understood. A better knowledge of the latter and, in particular, of hormonal influences would allow better initial and subsequent management. To our knowledge, there are no published case series that have analyzed the different hormonal parameters in the case of giant fibroadenomas.
