Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

- Female patients 18 years or older with one diagnosed breast fibroadenoma.

- Diagnosis of fibroadenoma must be based on :

- clinical examination,

- ultrasound image alone for patients under 35 years old. For women older than 35
years, a mammogram will be performed in addition to ultrasound. The BI-RADS
(Breast Imaging, Reporting and Data System) score of this mammogram must be less
than 3.

- histologic confirmation after core needle biopsy by two independent readers
(biopsy must be performed at least two weeks before therapy unless a microbiopsy
has been already done less than 3 months before inclusion visit and
histopathology slices are available).

- The requirements for the distance from the skin and the following regions of the
fibroadenoma are:

- = 23 mm from the posterior border of the fibroadenoma

- = 5 mm from the anterior border of the fibroadenoma

- = 11mm from the focal point of the HIFU treatment. These criteria shall be
evaluated immediately prior to treatment once breast is immobilized and
potentially compressed

- The rib cage should not be in the prefocal ultrasound path or behind the target
fibroadenoma (minimum distance behind the focal point= 10 mm). This criterion shall
only be reached in treatment conditions, once breast is immobilized and potentially
compressed.

- Patient's fibroadenoma is 1 cm or greater at its largest dimension

- Fibroadenoma is palpable

- Patient has signed a written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Patient who is pregnant or lactating.

- Patient with a BI-RADS score > 2 at the mammogram, or presence of microcalcifications
within the lesion.

- Patient with history of breast cancer or history

- Patient with history of laser or radiation therapy to the target breast

- Patient with breast implants in the target breast

- Patient with a breast cyst

- Patient's fibroadenoma not clearly visible on the ultrasound images (in B mode) at the
inclusion visit

- Patient participating in other trials using drugs or devices.
