title: [Gigantic fibroadenoma of the breast in an adolescent. Description of a clinical case].
abstract: A case of giant fibroadenoma in a girl of 14 is reported. This case emerged from an examination of about 380 patients observed at the Senology Clinic of the S. Maria di Loreto Hospital (USL 44) in the last 3 years. A statistical contribution is made to the study of breast pathologies in pubertal age and stress is laid on the importance of mass screening among adolescents.
