“…Added to this giant fibroadenoma is common on puberty. These finding were consistent with that of Hanna and Ashebu(2002) 4 , Gogo Abite(2005) 5 .Further the mean age of incidence of fibroadenoma among teenagers in India is as reported in literature is 14 years viz -a -viz 11 years in German Stehr et al (2004) 6 .This implies the occurrence of fibroadenoma seems to be more common among teenagers. Fibro adenoma was found to be more common in urban background compared to rural background 7 .…”

Background: Fibroadenomas are one of the main benign diseases of breast. Though considered as a risk factor for development of breast cancer its reporting has been over shadowed by that of breast cancer. Early diagnosis and treatment can relieve anxiety associated with non malignant conditions of breast. Analysis of pattern and prevalence should provide a valuable guideline for clinicians in India for comparison with other countries. Methods: A prospective study was undertaken during 6 year period and all cases with breast lesion underwent FNAC or excision biopsy. Confirmed cases of fibroadenoma were studied for clinicopathological features. A total of 210 cases were analyzed. Results: Of the 210 cases of fibroadenoma most were married urban women of age group16-30(66.1%) with average 12 months of symptoms (80%). Majority of fibroadenomas (51.9%) were 3-5 centimeters located in upper outer quadrant (43.8%).Most of the cases (78.1%) underwent excision and none presented with recurrence or carcinoma within the lesion. Conclusion: Fibroadenoma are the most common benign lesions of the breast with average age of presentation 27yrs. Excision is the best treatment for women over 35yrs to exclude malignancy.

“…10 These finding were consistent with that of Hanna and Ashebu. 11 Further, the mean age of incidence of fibroadenoma among teenagers in India as reported in the literature is 14 years compared to 11 years in Germany according to Stehr et al 12 Fibroadenomas were more numerous in right breast (56%) in our study, in contrast to Rimsten's observation that the incidence of breast lesions is higher in the left breast than in the right. Upper lateral quadrant (48%) was the most common location of fibroadenoma, which is in accordance with the findings of Ajao.…”

Background: Elastography is a new technique that can be especially helpful when used as an adjunct to conventional B-mode ultrasound in evaluating breast lesions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of interpretation criteria for conventional sonography and sonoelastography in characterising fibroadenoma breast with pathological correlation. Methods: 50 breast fibroadenomas were prospectively evaluated by ultrasound as well as by strain elastography followed by FNAC//Histopathology correlation. The criteria used in breast elastography were Elastography Score and Strain Ratio. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were calculated for each modality. Results: The elastography score was found to have the best performance among the 2 criteria used with a sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of 95.83%, 50% and 94% respectively. Conclusions: While conventional ultrasound remains the primary modality for the characterization of breast masses, elastography has the potential to improve the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of conventional ultrasound and, thus avoiding unnecessary biopsy.

“…Present study correlates with study done by Hanna R et al, where the incidence of giant fibroadenoma was lowest. 8 Giant fibroadenomas are usually encountered during pregnancy or lactation and accounts for 4% of overall fibroadenomas. Giant fibroadenomas are usually rapidly growing, and morphologically mimic malignancy but the truth is they never transform to malignant form.…”

Background: Fibroadenomas of breast are the commonest benign breast conditions. It is an attempt to study this common condition.Methods: Fifty cases with histologically diagnosed cases of fibroadenoma were included in the study and were compared with previous data from literature.Results: All the fifty patients included in this study were indoor patients. Maximum number of patient were in third decade (64%). Urban females have higher incidence of fibroadenoma (72%). Most fibroadenoma are unilateral (86%). Fibroadenoma are commonly present in upper lateral quadrant of breast (34%). Large sized fibroadenoma are common (58%). Pericanalicular pattern is most common histopathological finding (84%). Surgical excision is the commonest mode of treatment (36%).Conclusions: Fibroadenoma are common in third decade, urban female population. Fibroadenoma are usually unilateral, pericanalicular histological variant.
