Abstract

Breast lesions in childhood and adolescence are rare and more than 95% of all breast lesions occurring in this age group are benign. The management of breast lesions in the pediatric and adolescent populations differs from that of adults in that sonography is the initial imaging study, and mammorgaphy is reserved for select cases of suspicious discrete masses in older adolescents for for the evaluation of microcalcifications.
