Abstract: | Fibromatosis develops in many anatomic sites, but it rarely arises as a primary lesion in the breast. This lesion is locally invasive and frequently recurs after a local excision, but it has no potential for distant metastasis. In this report, we present a case of mammary fibromatosis which was closely similar to carcinoma in clinical, mammographic and ultrasonographic findings, thus leading us to breast conserving surgery. Despite being a rare disease, fibromatosis should be included in the differential diagnosis of younger patients (the age of the present case was 51, and the mean ages of patients with fibromatosis ranges from37 to 49) with abnormal changes on physical examinations and imaging studies. |
