Abstract

This case report describes a 25-year-old woman who presented with a complex fibroadenoma with multifocal cysts and lactational changes during pregnancy. The fibroadenoma grew rapidly during the patient's pregnancy, necessitating surgical intervention postpartum. While conservative management is generally preferred during pregnancy and lactation, this case highlights the importance of prompt diagnosis, timely surgical intervention, and the management of diagnostic and surgical challenges in pregnancy.
