Abstrakt: This report summarises the imaging findings of juvenile papillomatosis (JP) in a 16-year-old woman. Sonographically, the lesion was oval, well defined, heterogeneous with multiple small, cystic spaces. Ultrasonography can be helpful in differentiating between JP and similar cystic lesions, fibroadenomas, phyllodes tumours, intracystic papillomas and carcinomas. A core needle biopsy is still needed to confirm the diagnosis. An open biopsy with excision of the lesion is mandatory, mere observation is inadequate because of insufficient knowledge about the direct relationship between JP and subsequent cancer.
