Fibroepithelial lesions account for the overwhelming majority of solid breast masses affecting women younger than age 20. Nearly all present as self-detected or provider-detected palpable masses. All fibroepithelial lesions are composed of stromal (fibrous) and glandular (epithelial) elements and variable histology. Rapidly growing mobile breast masses in girls or female adolescents may represent juvenile fibroadenomas, which have different but benign histological features when compared to typical fibroadenomas. Benign phyllodes tumors closely resemble usual fibroadenomas and juvenile fibroadenomas on imaging. Decisions whether to biopsy these tumors are made clinically; the diagnosis of phyllodes tumor depends on histological assessment.This chapter, appearing in the section on circumscribed mass, reviews the key clinical and imaging features, differential diagnosis, and management recommendations of large solid breast masses affecting young women, including typical fibroadenomas, giant fibroadenomas, juvenile fibroadenomas, and phyllodes tumors.

Abstract Background: Female adolescents undergo drastic changes in their bodies during puberty. Therefore, they need to be informed about these pending changes at an early age so they can build a foundation for healthy reproductive behaviour. This study explored young female adolescents’ understanding of pubertal body changes and knowledge of their reproductive system. Method: Female students in grades seven, eight and nine were recruited from eight junior high schools in Kupang, Indonesia. Body mapping was conducted together with a semi-structured interview. Data was analyzed using inductive thematic analysis. Result: The median age of participants was 13 years and more than 85% had experienced menstruation. During interviews participants listed their pubertal body changes and then located the female reproductive system on body maps. Two main themes emerged in regards to participants’ perceived pubertal body changes and understanding of reproductive system. Participants aware the changes in their five body areas and could name one or two organs in the female reproductive system but they were unable to locate them on the body maps. The body mapping exercise revealed that participants have limited knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the female reproductive system. Conclusion: Young female adolescents demonstrated sound knowledge of pubertal body changes. However, they lacked an accurate understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the female reproductive system. The study identified a gap in young female adolescents' knowledge about the anatomy and physiology of the female reproductive system. This study provides evidence on the value of using the body mapping exercise in conjunction with semi-structured interviews in research with young female adolescents on a sensitive topic.
