BACKGROUND
Fibroadenoma is the commonest benign tumor of female breast. It is particularly common in young women in Africa.
METHOD
This paper describes the clinicopathologic features of fibroadenoma of breast in African women from central Ghana and compares them to the data from African-American women.
RESULTS
Fibroadenomas constituted 47.7% of all palpable breast masses. The median age of women was 22 years (range 14-49). Almost a third of the cases occurred in teenager. The mean size of masses was 3.8 cm (range 1-9 cm), with 22.5% showing larger sizes. A total of 16.1% had multiple and/or bilateral lesions.
CONCLUSION
Women from Central Ghana tend to have proportionately more fibroadenomas and larger (>5 cm) variants compared to published data from African-American women, however, the average age, size, multifocality and bilaterality do not differ significantly between these two groups of women.
背景
纤维腺瘤是女性乳房最常见的良性肿瘤。在非洲，它在年轻女性中尤为常见。
方法
本文描述了加纳中部非洲女性乳腺纤维腺瘤的临床病理特征，并将其与非裔美国女性的数据进行比较。
结果
纤维腺瘤占所有可触及乳腺肿块的47.7%。女性的中位年龄为22岁（范围14 - 49岁）。近三分之一的病例发生在青少年。肿块的平均大小为3.8厘米（范围1 - 9厘米），22.5%的肿块显示更大尺寸。共有16.1%的患者有多发和/或双侧病变。
结论
与非裔美国女性已发表的数据相比，加纳中部的女性纤维腺瘤比例相对较高，且有更大（>5厘米）的变体，然而，这两组女性在平均年龄、大小、多灶性和双侧性方面没有显著差异。
