Zusammenfassung:Giant juvenile breast fibroadenoma can cause deformity and should be excised. Cosmesis is an important consideration in young patients. The patient was admitted to our hospital for a mass of 6 × 6 cm in her left breast. A giant juvenile fibroadenoma. With the help of Mammotome, we translated the larger mass to smaller one and removed it via a small circumareolar incision with no residual tumor. There was no recurrence of disease after 2 years. Mammotome-combined resection is a new approach that can be used to excise giant fibroadenomas with a minimal incision, and provides a favorable contour to the breast.
