Department of Surgery, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Unit, Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital, Nnewi, Anambra State, Nigeria.

Barts Health NHS Trust W Smithfield, London, EC1A 7BE, UK.
Article Synopsis
- A dedicated paediatric breast clinic was established in 2020 to improve the referral process and standardize management for patients under 18 with breast-related symptoms, replacing varied local approaches.
- A retrospective study from 2017 to 2022 revealed an increase in referrals, mainly for breast lumps in the 15-18 age group, with ultrasound findings showing a significant number of normal breasts and fibroadenomas.
- The new clinic has led to more efficient care, reducing unnecessary procedures and easing the burden on adult breast units, while highlighting the need for timely reviews of unusual cases.
