Abstract
Summary: a series of 9 cases of giant fibroadenoma of the breast has been presented to illustratethe features of a somewhat uncommon but none the less interesting condition. there is a typical clinical picture and, if one is ntocompletely overawed by the size and appearance of the tumour on first inspection, in the majority of cases the patient can be treated quite effectively by relatively simple means. however, it should be remembered that there is a small proportion of these tumours which is malignant.
