BACKGROUND: The pathology and management of breast masses in pediatric patients is markedly different than in adults. The vast majority of lesions in children and adolescents are benign, but the rare malignant breast masses require prompt recognition and treatment. Pediatric surgeons navigating clinical evaluation of these masses must balance preservation of the developing breast with appropriate diagnosis and surgical management.
METHODS: The current English language literature was queried for pediatric and adolescent breast masses. Identified manuscripts were reviewed and classified by level of evidence. Based on these results, as well as expert consensus, an algorithm regarding clinical workup and management was established.
RESULTS: Evaluation of pediatric breast masses begins with a thorough history and physical exam. Palpable masses should then be further characterized using an ultrasound-guided algorithm. In select cases, observation without surgical resection is appropriate. Surgical management of presumed benign lesions, when performed, should prioritize conserving developing breast tissue and the nipple areolar complex. Excisional biopsy is preferable to core needle biopsy when technically feasible. Surgical management of malignant lesions varies depending on the type of malignancy.
CONCLUSION: Pediatric surgeons are often the first point of contact after identification of a breast mass in a pediatric or adolescent patient, and therefore play a critical role in management. Based on literature review and expert consensus, we propose an algorithm to guide pediatric surgeons in the diagnosis and treatment of these predominantly benign lesions. For the rare malignant lesions, a multi-disciplinary team approach is recommended to optimize patient care.
