## Contribution

Demonstrates the effectiveness of wise pattern mammoplasty for giant fibroadenoma resection with minimal deformity.

## Key findings

- Wise pattern mammoplasty allows complete tumor resection while preserving breast shape.
- The procedure is suitable for giant fibroadenomas and reduces post-operative deformity.
- Pre-operative biopsy is essential for accurate diagnosis and surgical planning.

## Abstract

Fibroadenoma is a benign tumor of the breast and mainly affects women in early adolescence. Giant fibroadenomas are less common and can be misdiagnosed with breast hypertrophy, pseudo-angiomatous stromal hyperplasia, or phyllodes. Hence, a pre-operative biopsy is mandatory for diagnosis and surgical planning. Wise pattern reduction mammoplasty is ideal for the resection of fibroadenomas. Here, we present a case of a 23-year-old woman who presented with a breast lump diagnosed as giant fibroadenoma. She underwent complete tumor resection using cosmetic wise pattern mammoplasty that is considered one of the best options to preserve the breast shape with negligible deformity.
