“…Desmoid tumor of the breast is a rare entity accounting for only 0.2% of all breast masses. It is also referred to as mammary fibromatosis or aggressive fibromatosis (2,3,13,14). The desmoid tumor of the breast can arise in the pectoral muscle or in the breast tissue (6,15), and may present clinically as a painless, firm, usually mobile mass occasionally fixed to the pectoral muscle or skin.…”

Desmoid tumor of the breast is a rare benign entity that usually is mistaken for carcinoma clinically and radiologically. We report two cases of desmoid tumor of the breast detected by mammography screening using digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT). The larger tumor was detected at both full-field digital mammography (FFDM) and DBT. The smaller desmoid tumor, however, was identified only at tomosynthesis. Mammographic and ultrasonographic findings at diagnostic work-up were consistent with carcinoma of the breast. Preoperative needle biopsies could not conclusively diagnose the lesions. Both patients underwent excisional biopsy and histopathology revealed fibromatosis of the desmoid type.

“…Breast surgery, including excisional biopsy, lumpectomy, mastectomy, breast reduction and augmentation, reconstruction, and breast implants, has been reported in women presenting with desmoid tumor (4)(5)(6)14), suggesting that it can be induced by trauma. Our patient case 1 underwent breast reduction surgery two years before the diagnosis.…”
