Juvenile giant fibroadenoma(JGF) is a rare benign breast tumor usually presenting in adolescent female and constitute 0.5 % of all fibroadenomas. JGF characterized by rapid and massive growth of encapsulated mass measuring more than 5 cm.We are reporting two cases of giant fibroadenoma in prepubertal girls aged 13 and 11 years.
