Özet: Juvenile giant fibroadenoma(JGF) is a rare benign breast tumor usually presenting in adolescent female and constitute 0.5 % of all fibroadenomas. JGF characterized by rapid and massive growth of encapsulated mass measuring more than 5 cm.We are reporting two cases of giant fibroadenoma in prepubertal girls aged 13 and 11 years. The provisional diagnosis was made on FNAC which was subsequently confirmed on histopathology. These tumors are mostly benign and should be treated with breastconserving surgery to improve physical, psychological disturbances and cosmotic disfigurement.
