Multiple Recurrences of Multiple Unilateral Giant Fibroadenoma

Dept. of Surgery, Santosh Medical College, Ghaziabad

Abstract

We present a case of a 36-year-old woman with recurrent unilateral multiple giant fibroadenomas that we investigated by FNAC, mammography and sonography. Though the lumps had an appearance of a phyllodes tumor our evaluation suggested a diagnosis of giant fibroadenoma which was confirmed by histopathology after enucleation. In an attempt to prevent recurrence we have put her on an off label therapy with Ormeloxifene.

Though Fibroadenomas are quite common, this unusual clinical history of recurrent unilateral multiple giant lesions is a rare course of the disease and has not often been documented.
