Abstract

RÉSUMÉ
Le fibroadénome mammaire est une prolifération anarchique du tissu épithélial et conjonctif. Le fibroadénome géant est une forme rare et particulière à l’adolescente. Les jeunes adolescentes âgées de 10 à 18 ans sont spécialement concernées. L’échographie est le meilleur examen paraclinique. Nous présentons le cas d’une jeune fille âgée de 14 ans qui a consulté à l’Hôpital Gynéco/Obstétrique et Pédiatrique de Douala pour une masse dans le sein gauche apparue spontanément 3 mois auparavant, non douloureuse, augmentant rapidement de volume. Une tumorectomie avec exérèse totale a été réalisée Les suites opératoires ont été simples sans complication ni récidive par la suite. Le diagnostic de fibroadénome géant du sein gauche a été affirmé à l’analyse histologique.
ABSTRACT
Breast fibroadenoma is an anarchic proliferation of epithelial and connective tissue. Giant fibroadenoma is a rare and specific to adolescents. Young adolescents aged between 10 and 18 are particularly concerned. Ultrasound is the best paraclinical examination. We present the case of a 14-year-old girl who consulted the Gynaecology/Obstetrics and Paediatrics Hospital in Douala for a mass in the left breast that had appeared spontaneously 3 months previously, was painless and rapidly increasing in volume. A lumpectomy with total excision was performed. The post-operative course was straightforward, with no subsequent complications or recurrences. Histological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of giant fibroadenoma of the left breast.
