Abstract

An 11-year-old girl presented with extremely large and slightly asymmetric breasts that had developed over a 1-year period. The condition was diagnosed as multiple bilateral juvenile fibroadenomas on the operative field and successfully treated with central pedicle breast reduction using a vertical and short horizontal scar design. Breast function and aesthetic appearance were preserved with no reported recurrence 5 years after surgery.
