“…However, in similarity to our case, authors have reported that both the physical examination and standard radiographic imaging usually fail to pinpoint the exact diagnosis in many cases. 13,26 Preoperative cytological examination is essential as it plays a pivotal role in clinching the diagnosis in most of the cases, as seen in our case. However, sometimes the features of fibroadenomas and benign or borderline phyllodes tumor overlap each other, thereby making the diagnosis difficult on FNAC 15,27 However, it is the histopathology which is considered to be the gold standard as it is not only required for the definite diagnosis but it also helps in differential diagnosis of giant breast masses, thereby allowing timely intervention and appropriate treatment in such cases.…”

“…The mammography, breast ultrasound (US) and the breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) help to identify the site and the size of the mass, and exclude multifocal disease [16][17][18][19]. However, physical examination and standard breast radiographic evaluations could fail to differentiate giant fibroadenoma from PT in many cases [20].…”

A 36-year-old lady presented with progressively enlarging mass in her right breast. Core biopsy showed a benign proliferative breast lesion. Total excision of the mass was done with and the final histopathology features were suggestive of giant fibroadenoma.Keywords: Breast; Giant fibroadenoma; Phylleoyeds any rapid enlargement large breast mass [1]. Since giant fibroadenoma, and phyllodes have different management approach, it is important to distinguish them preoperatively. However, distinguishing them preoperatively is challenging [2]. We report a case of giant fibroadenoma of the breast mimicking phylloides tumor in a 36-year-old lady.

Benign Breast Tumours - Diagnosis and Management

With improvements in breast imaging, mammography, ultrasound and minimally invasive interventions, the detection of early breast cancer, non-invasive cancers, lesions of uncertain malignant potential, and benign lesions has increased. However, with the improved diagnostic capabilities comes a substantial risk of false-positive benign lesions and vice versa false-negative malignant lesions. A statement is provided on the manifestation, imaging, and diagnostic verification of isolated benign breast tumours that have a frequent manifestation, in addition to general therapy management recommendations. Histological evaluation of benign breast tumours is the most reliable diagnostic method. According to the S3 guideline and information gained from analysis of the literature, preference is to be given to core biopsy for each type of tumour as the preferred diagnostic method. An indication for open biopsy is also to be established should the tumour increase in size in the follow-up interval, after recurring discrepancies in the vacuum biopsy results, or at the request of the patient. As an alternative, minimally invasive procedures such as therapeutic vacuum biopsy, cryoablation or high-intensity focused ultrasound are also becoming possible alternatives in definitive surgical management. The newer minimally invasive methods show an adequate degree of accuracy and hardly any restrictions in terms of post-interventional cosmetics so that current requirements of extensive breast imaging can be thoroughly met.
