Summary
Case report A four-month-old male infant was referred to our tertiary center for further investigation of a rapidly growing mass in the right breast. Steven Van den Berge, Machteld Keupers and Luc Breysem Teaching point: As juvenile fibroadenoma is radiologically indistinguishable from a (malignant) phyllodes tumor, a core biopsy is decisive for both treatment and follow-up. Ultrasound (US) (Figure 1A–D) was performed and demonstrated an oval, heterogeneous lesion with sharp boundaries.
