Core Tip
Core Tip: Giant juvenile fibroadenoma (GJF) is a rare benign breast tumor below 18 years of age and can be suspected mainly through palpable masses in clinical practice. Breast ultrasonography shows left masses > 5 cm with benign features (Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System score 3) through the preferred examination for breast imaging in this GJF case. The breast mass of GJF patients in this report showed a lobulated shape and many lobular ducts. Therefore, it is necessary to differentiate GJF from phosphotyrosine binding by histopathology. Clinicians should be aware of this diagnosis for a better approach and early conservative treatment instead of blindly performing mastectomy.
