Giant fibroadenoma of one breast: Immediate bilateral reconstruction.
A rare case of giant fibroadenoma of the left breast is presented. We performed a nipple sparing subcutaneous mastectomy of the left breast. Since the patient desired larger breasts, a contralateral augmentation mammaplasty was carried out in a single stage operation. A satisfactory result was achieved.
