“…Twenty-two cases included in 20 papers, published in the period under investigation, were analyzed in detail [4,5,6,7,8,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25]. The main demographic and clinical characteristics of the enrolled patients are summarized in table 1.…”

Background: This article describes the demographic, clinical, pathological and prognostic features of breast nodular fasciitis through a comprehensive review of the cases reported in modern literature. Material and Methods: English-language articles published from January 1970 to October 2015 and related to breast nodular fasciitis were non-systematically retrieved using the PubMed database. Titles, abstracts and references were evaluated in order to include the most relevant studies. The demographic characteristics of the patients and the signs and symptoms of the disease were reviewed, as well as the results of the radiological and diagnostic procedures employed and of the treatments adopted. Results: 26 papers reporting on 28 cases were enrolled; however, manuscripts published before 1990 were excluded because of old methodologies, technologies and clinical approaches. Thus, 22 cases included in 20 papers were analyzed in detail. Conclusion: The rarity and the unspecific clinical and radiological characteristics of breast nodular fasciitis make the differential diagnosis and management challenging. Knowledge of the clinical, pathological and prognostic aspects of this condition is crucial for breast care specialists in order to improve their diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.

“…Nodular fasciitis (NF) is a self-limited myofibroblastic proliferation, which is usually subcutaneous in location and rarely presents as multiple lesions [10]. Due to its typical clinical presentation as a rapidly growing mass and its variable radiological and histological features, NF www.ijcasereportsandimages.com…”

“…Practically, however, the lesions reported in the breast with diffuse myxoid stromal changes are: superficial angiomyxoma [9], nodular mucinosis (first reported as nerve sheath myxoma) [16,17], nodular fasciitis (myxoid variant) [18], neurofibroma (myxoid variant) [19,20], myofibrolastoma (myxoid variant) [21,22], myxofibrosarcoma [23], myxoid liposarcoma [24], and mucocele-like tumors [15]. A list of these lesions, including their main clinico-pathological features, is provided in Table 1.…”

Clinico-pathological features of breast myxoma: report of a case with histogenetic considerations

2010

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

We herein report the clinical, radiological, and pathological findings of a rare case of myxoma occurring in the breast parenchyma of a 75-year-old female. The tumor was incidentally detected at a mammographic screening and, ultrasonographically, presented as an ovoid mass. Histologically, an encapsulated hypocellular, myxoid tumor with low vascularization was evident. Neoplastic cells were round- to spindle/stellate-shaped and stained with vimentin and focally with calponin. We emphasize that morphology remains preeminent in the diagnosis of a breast myxoma, while immunohistochemistry may assist in ruling out other tumor entities. Differential diagnosis with all benign and malignant myxoid lesions, primarily occurring in the breast, is provided. The histogenesis of breast myxoma is unknown. The lack of expression of desmin, alpha-smooth muscle actin, CD34, CD99, CD10, bcl-2 protein, and estrogen/progesterone/androgen receptors, all markers characteristically expressed by "the benign spindle cell tumors of the mammary stroma," would suggest that breast myxoma does not fall into this tumor category and that its putative precursor mesenchymal cell resides in the interlobular stroma.
