Abstract:It is uncommon to find palpable breast masses in young patients. Generally, such masses are benign. Juvenile fibroadenoma is the most frequent benign tumour of the breast. The present report describes a case involving a 17-year-old girl with unilateral right breast hypertrophy, for whom resection and breast reduction was effectively achieved.Resection was combined with an aesthetically pleasing outcome through breast reduction, via a wise pattern of reduction with a superior pedicle.While young patients rarely present with breast masses, the consideration of fibroadenoma in these cases is always warranted. The disconcerting appearance of the breasts for adolescents afflicted by such benign masses underscores the importance of achieving aesthetically optimal outcomes and attaining adequate tumour resection for diagnostic purposes through pathological specimens. In the present case, the young patient underwent a procedure that fulfilled both of these valuable goals through careful pre-operative planning, pedicle selection and skin resection patterns.
Keywords:Breast reduction   Breast tumours   Juvenile fibroadenoma
