Primary fibromatosis of the breast in a 13 years old girl

Abstract

The mammary fibromatosis is a rare clinical entity. The etiopathogeny remains unclear. The clinical and radiological characteristics of this injury are often worrying within the main differential diagnosis of the mammary carcinoma; however only the histological examination can confirm the diagnosis. It is characterized by a strictly local evolution with an infiltration and recidivism tendency without giving metastasis. The treatment is basically surgical. We report herewith an observed case of 13-year-old girl, presenting with a huge tumor located in the left breast with ulceration of the nipple-areolar plate. The diagnosis is confirmed by the histological study. The treatment consisted of a mastectomy. Suites are simple. In view of the clinical evidence of the literature, we call back the difficulties of management of this tumor.
