Abstract :

The majority of east lesions in teens age group are benign. The most common of these rare lesions is juvenile fioadenoma, which accounts for only 0.5% of all fioadenoma. It is uncommon to have a palpable lesion in juveniles as very small lesions show obvious asymmetry. Fioadenomas can grow to a large size, and surgical intervention is cosmetically challenging, especially in achieving symmetry in a developing east. A 17–year–old girl presented with right east swelling associated with tenderness. The mass had initially been small on self–discovery 1 year previously and rapidly increased in size . There was no overlying skin changes or any significant risk factors for east malignancy. Triple assessment showed features of fioadenoma, but we were unable to rule out a phyllodes tumour by triple assessment. She subsequently underwent excision biopsy of the right east lesion for symptomatic control and histopathology examination (HPE) of the lesion. The HPE report confirmed the diagnosis of fioadenoma. The patient recovered well postoperatively with no complications. Giant east lesions are rare, and it is a challenge to provide an adolescent with the best treatment in terms of clinical and psychological care. A surgical approach requires meticulous planning to ensure a fine balance between adequate resection and the best cosmetic outcome for a developing east.
