	Fibroadenoma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fibroadenoma of the breast is a benign tumor characterized by proliferation of both glandular and stromal elements.
		Intracanalicular fibroadenoma: stromal proliferation predominates and compresses the ducts, which are irregular, reduced to slits.
		Pericanalicular fibroadenoma: fibrous stroma proliferates around the ductal spaces, so that they remain round or oval, on cross section.

		A fibroadenoma is a benign (not cancer) breast lump that is made up of fibrous and glandular tissue.
		On examination fibroadenomas are usually painless, smooth, well-rounded lumps which move freely within the breast.
		The cells are studied to confirm the diagnosis of a fibroadenoma.

		Fibroadenoma of the breast is a benign (noncancerous) tumor.
		Fibroadenoma is the most common benign tumor of the breast and the most common breast tumor in women less than 30 years of age.
		Fibroadenomas are usually found as solitary lumps, but about 10-15% of women have multiple lumps that may affect both breasts.

	Fibroadenoma
		Fibroadenoma is a benign breast growth that most commonly presents in teenage girls and women under the age of thirty.
		Fibroadenoma carries a very slight risk for future breast cancer, but the majority of fibroadenoma are benign breast growths.
		While biopsy is the only sure way to confirm fibroadenoma, young women in their teens to mid twenties may not require a biopsy if the lump meets all the requirements for a characteristic fibroadenoma mass.

		Fibroadenoma volume was measured by ultrasound at 3, 6, and 12 months after the procedure.
		Of the 19 patients with fibroadenoma for whom 12-month follow-up is available, 14 showed no evidence of the fibroadenoma and five had a 79% average reduction in tumor volume.
		Of the 16 patients with fibroadenoma for whom 6-month follow-up data are available, seven demonstrated no evidence of the fibroadenoma, six had a 55% average reduction in tumor volume, and for three the margins were not discernible by ultrasound.

	Fibroadenoma
		Fibroadenomas are benign breast tumors commonly found in young women.
		Breast fibroadenomas, abnormal growths of glandular and fibrous tissues, are most common between the ages of 15 and 30, and are found in 10% of all women (20% of African- American women).
		Fibroadenomas usually cause no symptoms and may be discovered during breast self-examination, or during a routine check-up.

	Breast Cancer Care - Fibroadenoma
		A fibroadenoma is a benign solid lump of tissue which, although very common in young women, can occur at any age.
		Normally rubbery in texture and often painless, a fibroadenoma is smooth to the touch and moves easily under the skin – which is why it is often called a breast mouse - and it is not unsual to have more than one.
		Fibroadenomas between 1-3cm in size are referred to as ‘common’, those growing to more than 5cm in size are known as 'giant', and fibroadenomas found in teenage girls are called ‘juvenile'.

		Fibroadenoma is the most common benign breast tumors seen in women under the age of 35 years.
		Thus, it is important to evaluate the surrounding tissue of fibroadenoma to determine the extent of disease for optimal treatment.
		The malignant counterpart of fibroadenoma is cystosarcoma phyllodes or the newer term of phyllodes tumor, in which the epithelial elements are benign, but the stromal tissue is malignant.

		Fibroadenomas are benign tumors composed of stromal and epithelial elements.
		Multiple or complex fibroadenomas may indicate a slightly increased risk for breast cancer; the relative risk is approximately twice that of patients of similar age without fibroadenomas.
		Fibroadenomas are typically round, ovoid, or lobulated, with smooth margins, although on early contrast enhanced images they may exhibit an irregular shape or margin resulting from the progression of enhancement.

	Pediatriaaldia.com
		Although classified in most textbooks as benign neoplasms, fibroadenomas are best considered as aberrations of normal development: they develop from a whole lobule and not from a single cell, they are very common, and they are under the same hormonal control as the remainder of the breast tissue.
		Juvenile fibroadenomas occur in adolescent girls and sometimes undergo rapid growth but are managed in the same way as the common fibroadenoma.
		In women aged under 40 fibroadenomas diagnosed by clinical examination, ultrasonography, and fine needle aspiration cytology do not need excision unless this is requested by the patient.

		Fibroadenoma is a benign, firm tumor found most often in women 20 to 40 years old.
		To make sure that the tumor is a fibroadenoma and not cancer, a mammogram and biopsy are often performed.
		Although they very seldom become malignant, the tumor may need to be removed from the breast, even though it is harmless, because of the risk of masking cancer elsewhere in the breast.

		Fibroadenoma of the breast is a common benign lesion affecting women during their reproductive years.
		In most patients with fibroadenoma(s), the ideal approach is confirmation with percutaneous core biopsy and conservative follow-up.
		Because fibroadenomas can be bothersome to some patients, causing physical deformity, discomfort or emotional distress, most breast surgeons will respect an informed patient's preference for treatment.

		During pregnancy and breast feeding fibroadenoma respond to the hormones of pregnancy and breastfeeding.
		Fibroadenoma are also under the influence of the menstrual cycle and just as you can experience premenstrual tenderness and swelling, fibroadenoma may also appear more prominent and tender prior to a period.
		Fibroadenoma may look very similar to the fatty-fibrous tissue on ultrasound and may not show up until they get to be a little bigger and denser.

	ASBD Case of the Quarter - Winter 2005
		Giant juvenile fibroadenoma is a benign, unifocal and often rapidly growing painless tumor that presents during adolescence.
		Giant juvenile fibroadenoma can be distinguished from asymmetric breast hypertrophy and hamartomas by their clinical presentation and lack of mammary lobules on microscopic examination.
		For juvenile fibroadenoma and benign phyllodes tumors yearly exam by the patient's gynecologist or primary physician is probably sufficient.

	MedPix Case: 5590 - Involuting Fibroadenoma
		This is an example of a fibroadenoma that is early in the process of hyalinizing.
		Fibroadenomas represent expansile proliferations of lobular elements (epithelial and mesenchymal) under estrogenic stimulation.
		Particularly after withdrawal of hormonal stimulation (post-menopause) fibroadenomas tend to involute through a process of hyalinization, which leads to calcification.

		The incidence of fibroadenoma decreases as women approach menopause, although they are sometimes present in older women, in which case they are usually much harder (calcified).
		Fibroadenomas are usually diagnosed by a combination of three assessments: clinical examination, imaging (mammography or ultrasound) and biopsy (either fine needle aspiration or core biopsy).
		However, many women opt to have them surgically removed due to a variety of considerations: the uncomfortable feeling of the lump, concern that the lump will make it more difficult to detect new lumps in the future and, in extreme cases, breast deformation due to the size or location of the lump.

		This pattern of a benign, biphasic growth with proliferation of the epithelial component (in the form of compressed ductal structures) and the surrounding stroma is typical of a Fibroadenoma.
		The benign Phyllodes tumors resemble fibroadenomas to a certain extent but exhibit a leaf-like branching pattern of compressed ductal structures along with a stroma that is more cellular than that of fibroadenomas.
		There is no increased risk of cancer associated with a fibroadenoma, but the patient still has an increased risk due to the family history of breast cancer in her mother.
