Abstract
in English, Chinese

Giant fibroma of the breast in adolescence is a benign tumor of the breast that occurs in a special period in women, often in adolescent women aged 18-25 years old. These tumors are characterized by short course and large size. They are rare in clinic and easy to be misdiagnosed. We report a case of 22 cm-pubertal breast giant fibroadenoma which underwent inverted "T" incision resection. The diagnosis, pathological characteristics, and treatment of adolescent giant fibroadenoma of the breast are also discussed based on literature.
