Abstract
Fibroadenoma is the most common benign breast tumor in women aged between 20 and 35 years. There are different variants, including giant fibroadenoma. We report a case of this entity. Giant fibroadenoma has been defined as a fibroadenoma with a maximum diameter larger than 5 cm or weighing more than 500 g. The initial diagnosis is based on clinical history and physical examination and definitive diagnosis is made by histological analysis. Surgical treatment should be individually assessed and resection is recommended in patients with fibroadenomas with very rapid growth and in highly symptomatic patients. In patients with severe mammary asymmetry, the inverted «T» technique can be used, which is effective in reducing the volume and correcting ptosis in breast hypertrophy. Mastectomy is also an option.
