Abstract (2. Language): 
The term "giant fibroadenoma" is a descriptive name given to a fibroadenoma that is greater than 5cm in diameter or weighs more than 500g. We are presenting a case of giant juvenile fibroadenomas in a 13-year-old pre-pubertal girl. The diagnosis was made on fine needle aspiration cytology and it is completely excised through a circum mammary curvilinear incision. Diagnosis was confirmed by the histopathology. Breast conserving surgery can lead a normal life without psychological implications in adolescent girls.
