Overview
The majority of cases of fibroadenoma are self-limited and only require close follow-up. The feasibility of surgery depends on the age of the patient at the time of diagnosis. Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for fibroadenoma among patients older than 35 years of age.[1]
Surgery
- A small and constant sized fibroadenoma confirmed by imaging studies may be managed with careful observation and follow up. The majority of cases of fibroadenoma are self-limited and only require close follow-up.[1][2]
- The feasibility of surgery depends on the age of the patient at the time of diagnosis.
- Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for fibroadenoma among patients older than 35 years of age, symptomatic patients and rapidly growing masses.
