Giant juvenile fibroadenoma in a 9-year-old: A case presentation and review of the current literature.

We present a 9-year-old, pre-menstrual, Nigerian female with no known family history of breast masses or cancers who developed spontaneous giant fibroadenoma measuring approximately 13  cm × 13 cm. Rapid growth of a breast mass can be of great concern to such young patients whose breasts are in the early formative stages. It is important to promptly rule out malignant processes or phyllodes tumor, and educate young patients and their families on treatment options that fit their unique concerns and circumstances.
