Multiple fibroadenomas of the breast: a problem of uncertain incidence and management

M E Williamson et al. Ann R Coll Surg Engl. 1993 May.

Abstract

A case is presented of multiple fibroadenomas of the breasts in a young Caucasian woman followed over a period of 10 years. A total of 22 individual lesions have been identified. Review of the literature gives little guidance regarding incidence, natural history and management of this condition. It is proposed that a register be set up to obtain basic data on this rare condition. The authors would be willing to collate cases submitted to such a register.
