Dev juvenil fibroadenomun yönetiminde batwing mastopeksi yöntemi ile birlikte meme koruyucu cerrahi: 12 yaşinda kız olgu sunumu

Abstract

Fibroadenomas are benign breast tumours consisting of epithelial and stromal components. Most of them are about 1 to 2cm in size. It is defined as “giant” when the fibroadenoma is larger than 5cm, weighs more than 500 g or occupies for at least 80% of breast volume. It is usually encountered in patients of less than 20 years of age. Progressively growing mass and its large size cause a suspicion of malignancy. It presents as unilateral macromastia that causes breast asymmetry. Excellent cosmetic results cannot be obtained with simple excision in this situation. We aimed to present a case of a 12-year-old patient with a diagnosis of giant juvenile fibroadenoma. In this case, we performed surgical excision with Batwing mastopexy of the breast to achieve optimal symmetry with contralateral breast.
