Abstract
Introduction: Fibroadenoma (FA) is a common tumour whose diagnosis is confirmed through a Triple Assessment. Exception are patients <25yr when biopsy may be omitted if imaging is benign. FA with increased stroma cellularity needs to be distinguished from benign phyllodes tumour (PT). Even though rare, there are reports of foci of breast cancer in some excised FA. Indications for excision include size >30mm, growing FA, patient's request. Some patients however questions the need for excision if core biopsy had confirmed FA and others, the wisdom for not excising.
