Black women develop Breast Fibroadenoma more often than caucasians ones and they do it in an earlier stage of their lives, 5 percent of fibroadenomas developed in adolescents may be youth-type fibroadenomas, and giant fibroadenomas that are characterized by a rapid growth reaching large size about 22 centimeters which produces stretching of the skin, superficial venous dilation and nipple displacement.
This tends to be more common in adolescents patients younger than 20 years but it may also be seen in adult women and elderly people. The fibroadenoma breast histologically is a tumor that originates in the breast lobules which have a mixed or biphasic, epithelial / stromal component devoid of a capsule, but that is well delimited, such proliferation starts in several adjacent lobules, which will then converge because of a possible Hormonal Alteration (hiperestrogenic State).
It may suffers haemorrhagic stroke, hyalinization, calcification, and/or ossification, areas of epithelial hyperplasia, areas of lobular carcinoma or ductal in situ or invasive, observed in less than 5 percent of the cases, 50 per cent of these, are lobular.

The diagnosis is achieved:
a) clinic: reveals a hard, mobile and well-delineated tumor.
b) Mammography: circumscribed radioopaco low density tumor, and may have large and rude calcifications .
c) ultrasound: evidence eco dense very homogeneous.
d) Cytology (extended to puncture – pathologist): extended that reveal typical ductal cells mammary grouped in plates, in a fibromixoide fund. Treatment: Tumorectomia or removal of the injury or nodular tumor with margin of healthy tissue.
