ABSTRACT

Mammary fibromatosis or desmoid tumor is a rare lesion which accounts for less than 0.2% of all mammary tumors. It represents a proliferation of fibroblasts, myofibroblasts, or both, which infiltrate the stroma of the breast locally and aggressively but without potential to cause metastasis. The causes are unknown; however, there is a clear association with a history of traumatism and breast surgery (e.g. tumorectomy, reductive surgery, or placement of implants).
The clinical and image presentations imitate, almost undistinguishably, an invasive carcinoma. The diagnosis is histological and the treatment of choice is full surgical resection, due to the tumor’s high rate of local recurrence, even with free surgical margins.
