Juvenile papillomatosis of the breast in a 9-year-old girl.
Juvenile papillomatosis (JP) is a rare benign, proliferative breast tumor in children. We observed a 9-year-old girl with a large soft-tissue mass at the lower outer quadrant of the left breast. Ultrasonography showed an ill-defined, inhomogeneous mass with numerous small, hypoechoic areas. The tumor was completely excised. Histopathology revealed JP of the breast. The case is presented and the literature is reviewed.
