In a retrospective study of giant breast masses over a period of 20 years (1980-2000), we encountered 18 patients with fibroadenomas. Most of them were adolescents and young adults. The bimodal age incidence seen in Caucasians was not observed. The masses ranged from 6 to 15 cm in size and in the youngest patient, they were bilateral. All 18 patients were examined by mammography and 10 of them by ultrasonography (US) as well. The right breast was involved in 12 patients and the left in six. The diagnosis was confirmed pathologically in all patients, by excision biopsy in 17 patients and by fine needle aspiration cytology and excision biopsy in one patient. The radiological findings were the same as those previously described. All patients were treated by simple enuculation. There was only one recurrence over a follow-up period from 2 months to 3 years.
在一项对20年期间（1980 - 2000年）巨大乳腺肿块的回顾性研究中，我们遇到了18例纤维腺瘤患者。他们大多数是青少年和年轻成年人。未观察到白种人所呈现的双峰年龄发病率。肿块大小在6至15厘米之间，最年轻的患者肿块为双侧性。所有18例患者均接受了乳房X线摄影检查，其中10例还接受了超声检查。右乳受累12例，左乳受累6例。所有患者均经病理确诊，17例患者通过切除活检确诊，1例患者通过细针穿刺细胞学检查及切除活检确诊。放射学表现与先前描述的相同。所有患者均接受了单纯摘除术治疗。在2个月至3年的随访期内仅出现1例复发。
