ABSTRACT
This is a presentation of a 21 year old unmarried nulliparous Indian girl with a massive ulcerating and fungating left breast mass that was initially thought to be a fungating locally advanced breast carcinoma on clinical examination. Further examination of the morphology of the resected surgical specimen, histological and cytopathological examination confirmed it to be a giant fibroadenoma of the breast. It was successfully managed by partial mastectomy with an excellent result and a high degree of patient satisfaction was achieved. Though a rare clinical entity benign breast tumor can present like a fungating breast cancer and this must be borne in mind, especially in young adolescent patients presenting with ulcerating breast tumor.
Key-words: Breast cancer, Fibroadenoma, Fungating.
