Abstract: Although breast masses are uncommon in children and adolescents, it is a worrying phenomenon for families when diagnosed.Breast masses in this age group are generally benign and most of them are seen in adolescents. Materials and Methods: The patient information was obtained from the hospital records and automation system. The patients were retrospectively analyzed with regards to age, complaints and their duration, family history, association with menstruation, location and size of the breast mass, methods of diagnosis, histopathological findings, and postoperative complications. Results: There was no difference between NOG and NG with respect to median age, body mass index, side and location of the mass, reason for admission, association with puberty, and follow-up time (p>0.05). When both groups were compared in terms of the size of the mass, the mass size was measured to be 2.2 cm (1.4-3) in NOG and 3.8 cm (3-8) in NG. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (p=0.12). Discussion and Conclusion: Surgical excision will be appropriate when a pediatric breast mass is detected in the neoplastic group, there is a family history, the size of the mass does not change or increase during follow-up, and malignancy is suspected on imaging.
