Abstract
Introduction: Fibroadenomas (FAD) are benign breast lesions composed of both stromal and epithelial elements. Association of Breast Surgery (ABS) guidelines suggest histological assessment of any lesions in women >25years old, even if a fibroadenoma is suspected clinically and radiologically propose a non-biopsy policy for fibroadenomas in women aged between 25-30 years when strict clinical and radiological criteria are fulfilled. Here we review our local practice, with the view to adopting a similar non-biopsy protocol.
