Breast masses in childhood: a single-center experience

Key Points

Malignant tumors can arise from childhood breast masses, necessitating vigilance in monitoring.
It is critical to evaluate masses larger than 5 cm or that exhibit progressive growth to determine malignancy risk.
Previous malignancy or radiotherapy history in patients warrants careful observation and further assessments.
The findings support the need for a cautious approach in managing childhood breast tumors and potential risks.

Abstract

In childhood, the most commonly encountered breast tumors are benign. However, careful monitoring is crucial due to the potential occurrence of malignant tumors. Further evaluations should be undertaken in patients with a history of malignancy or radiotherapy, masses larger than 5 cm, or masses with progressive growth.
