Keywords:
Juvenile, Fibroadenoma, BreastAbstract
Fibroadenomas are benign breast tumors. These tumors are commonly seen in the age group of 20-30 years. They are very rare in children. Here we are presenting a case of fibroadenoma of the breast in a 10 year old girl. These juvenile fibroadenomas constitute 4% of the fibroadenomas of the breast and comprise 0.5% of the breast tumors, in paediatric age group.
