we understand the importance of providing detailed information and effective solutions for individuals facing this condition. In this guide, we will delve into the various aspects of giant fibroadenomas, their diagnosis, treatment options, and what to expect during the recovery process.
Understanding Giant Fibroadenomas
Giant fibroadenomas are benign breast tumors that are typically larger than 5 centimeters in diameter. While they are non-cancerous, their size can cause discomfort and concern for patients. These tumors are composed of both glandular and fibrous tissues and can develop in one or both breasts.
Diagnosis
Diagnosing giant fibroadenomas often involves a combination of clinical examination, imaging studies, and biopsy. During the clinical examination, the doctor may palpate the breast to feel for any lumps or abnormalities. Imaging studies such as mammography, ultrasound, or MRI may be ordered to further evaluate the size and characteristics of the tumor. A biopsy may also be performed to confirm the diagnosis and rule out any malignant growth.
Treatment Options
Surgical Excision
Surgical excision is often recommended for giant fibroadenomas, especially those causing symptoms or concern for malignancy. During this procedure, the tumor is removed using cosmetic surgery principles causing minimal and hidden scars. Dr. Sushrut Tated specializes in minimally invasive surgical techniques, such as lumpectomy or minimally invasive breast surgery, to minimize scarring and expedite recovery.
