Breast J. 2002 Jan-Feb;8(1):45-6. doi: 10.1046/j.1524-4741.2002.08009.x.

Abstract

Giant fibroadenomas can produce breast deformity and should be excised. Several techniques have been discussed, including a sub-mammary incision, which often leave a disfiguring scar. We describe a new technique for removal of such large masses via a small cosmetic circumareolar incision.
