Abstract
Giant juvenile fibroadenomas form 1-8% of breast lesions in the adolescent population. We report a case of giant fibroadenoma in a 17-year-old girl who underwent simple lump excision through a lateral breast fold incision followed by lipomodelling to correct the dimpling of the breast. With this dual approach, excellent cosmetic outcome can be achieved for average-sized giant fibroadenoma without the need for more complex technique.
