A rapidly growing mass in the breast may be stressful for both parents and child as the suspicion of malignancy arises. The purpose of this case report is to draw attention to the fact that most emerging lesions of the breast in girls during puberty are benign. This case report presents a ten-year-old girl with a rapidly growing tumour in the breast. The tumour turned out to be a giant juvenile fibroadenoma, which is rare and benign. Differential diagnosis, investigation and management are reviewed.

The distinction between fibroadenoma (FA) and phyllodes tumor (PT) can be challenging due to overlapping histological features and the limited nature of CNB material. Objective This study aimed to assess the accuracy of CNB diagnosis of FA and PT by comparing it with a diagnosis on subsequent surgical excision specimen.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the long-term effectiveness and safety of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) for severe autoimmune diseases in children and adolescents.
- Seven patients with various autoimmune conditions underwent AHSCT, showing a median progression-free survival of 4.2 years and overall survival rate of 100%, with most in clinical remission after a long follow-up.
- Despite some safety concerns, including infections and new autoimmune diseases, the results indicate that AHSCT can be a promising treatment for these challenging cases.

Introduction And Importance: Breast pathology in adolescents is rare and predominantly benign, with abnormalities including congenital anomalies, infections, mastodynia, nipple discharge, and mostly benign breast masses. Fibroepithelial tumors, the most common type, form a heterogeneous group that includes benign, borderline, and malignant entities such as phyllodes tumors. Differentiation of these tumors, especially various types of fibroadenomas, requires histopathological examination due to their similar radiological appearances and lesion heterogeneity.
