Discovering a large breast lump can be especially concerning, particularly when it grows rapidly or causes visible changes in breast shape. While most breast lumps are benign, one rare yet significant type is the giant fibroadenoma—a non-cancerous growth that exceeds 5 cm in size and can impact breast appearance, comfort, and emotional well-being.

Dr. Kanmani Govindrao Telkar, an experienced breast surgeon, offers expert evaluation and surgical excision of giant fibroadenomas, ensuring both medical safety and cosmetic results through advanced techniques and compassionate care.

What is a Giant Fibroadenoma?

A giant fibroadenoma is a subtype of fibroadenoma that grows larger than 5 cm in diameter or weighs more than 500 grams. These are more commonly seen in adolescents and young women, and though benign, they can:

• Cause noticeable breast enlargement or asymmetry
• Lead to skin stretching or ulceration.
• Cause pain or discomfort due to their size
• Raise concerns about underlying malignancy.

Prompt diagnosis and management are crucial to rule out rare tumors like phyllodes and to restore breast shape and comfort.

When is Giant Fibroadenoma Excision Recommended?

Dr. Kanmani may recommend surgical removal if:

• The fibroadenoma is larger than 5 cm
• It causes visible breast distortion.
• There is skin redness, stretching, or thinning.
• Rapid growth is observed.
• Biopsy results are uncertain.
• There is significant discomfort or emotional distress.

What to Expect from the Procedure

Giant fibroadenoma excision is more complex than a standard fibroadenoma removal due to the size and potential impact on breast tissue. However, Dr. Kanmani uses minimally invasive and breast-conserving techniques to ensure the best outcomes.

Procedure Overview:

• Performed under general anesthesia
• Incision placement is planned carefully to preserve aesthetics.
• The lump is removed completely while preserving healthy breast tissue.
• Cosmetic sutures are used to minimize scarring.

Surgery typically lasts between 60 and 90 minutes, and in most cases, patients can return home the same day.

Recovery and Aftercare

While recovery timelines may vary based on the size of the lump and surgical complexity, most patients experience:

• Manageable post-operative discomfort
• Minimal scarring with proper care
• Return to daily activities within a week.
• Aesthetic satisfaction and relief from symptoms

Dr. Kanmani provides detailed aftercare guidance and follows up to monitor healing and cosmetic results.
