Twenty-six patients were diagnosed to have giant fibroadenomas of the breast over a 19-year period. The majority of these tumours occurred in adolescents and young adults and the bimodal age incidence described in caucasians was not seen. Tumour sizes ranged from 5 cm to 11 cm. None of the patients presented with a clinical picture simulating malignancy of the breast. All tumours were treated by simple enucleation; no recurrences were observed over a minimum follow-up period of three years.
