The case report of a 18 year-old adolescent who had been operated due to a fibroadenoma in the right breast in 2011 and who was admitted in "Dr. Ambrosio Grillo Portuondo" Clinical Surgical University Hospital in Santiago de Cuba for presenting exaggerated growth of it in a month is described. Keeping in mind the results of the cytology examinations carried out, there was doubt for the diagnosis of giant juvenile fibroadenoma or of benign phyllodes tumor, so that the simple total mastectomy was carried out, after which she had a satisfactory clinical course and she was discharged without complications

Keywords : adolescent; breast; exaggerated growth; giant fibroadenoma; phyllodes tumor; simple total mastectomy.
