AB  - A  13-year-old  girl  is  brought  to  her  pediatrician  by  her  mother  because  of  a  left  breast  mass,  which  she  has  noted  for  the  past  month.  The  lump  has  been  very  painful  and  “changed”  in  color  (Figure  80-1).  Her  mother  is  concerned  about  the  size  of  the  lump,  having  seen  it  only  three  days  prior  to  her  visit.  The  patient  reached  menarche  at  age  12  years  and  is  not  taking  any  medications.  She  has  never  been  pregnant.  The  diagnosis  of  giant  fibroadenoma  was  suspected  and  the  girl  is  referred  to  a  breast  surgeon.  Given  the  size  of  the  lesion,  and  severe  asymmetry,  it  was  advised  that  she  have  an  excision  of  this  mass  with  reconstruction  to  achieve  a  better  cosmetic  result.  She  underwent  surgical  excision  of  the  mass,  which  confirmed  a  giant  fibroadenoma.  After  the  procedure,  her  breasts  appeared  symmetrical  and  she  healed  very  well.There  is  concern  that  her  left  reconstruction  may  need  to  be  revised  in  the  future  as  her  other  breast  will  mature  appropriately  for  her  age.  This  will  need  to  be  followed  into  adulthood.
