Myofibroblastoma of the breast is a very rare benign mesenchymal tumor, with relatively few cases described in the literature. We report a case of a large mammary myofibroblastoma appearing as a lipoma on ultrasonography. A 47-year-old woman presented with a slowly growing 12-cm mass over a period of 6 years. Imaging studies suggested a diagnosis of lipoma. Tru-Cut biopsy reveled bland spindle cell lesion consistent with myofibroblastoma, which was confirmed after surgical excision. We are reporting this rare entity and reviewed the literature to emphasize myofibroblastoma as a possible differential diagnosis when evaluating a breast mass.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
