A study of 29 patients with presumed fibroadenomas were diagnosed prospectively over a 13-month period via physical examination.[7]

A study of 29 patients with presumed fibroadenomas were diagnosed prospectively over a 13-month period via physical examination.[7]
Twelve teenagers underwent ultrasonography and had solid masses. None of these masses resolved after a year of observation. In addition, resection determined that all of these masses were fibroadenomas.
There is no evidence that childhood or adolescent fibroadenomas have carcinomatous potential.
