چکیده

Mammary myofibroblastoma is a rare mesenchymal neoplasm that typically presents in older men and women. Less commonly, these benign tumors may also occur in soft tissues located outside of the breast, in which case they are referred to as mammary-type myofibroblastomas. The histologic composition of this benign spindle cell tumor can be markedly varied. We present a case of a large mammary myofibroblastoma in a male patient and discuss the typical imaging and histologic makeup of these tumors.

Mammary Myofibroblastoma with Unusual Morphological and Immunohistochemical Features

Mammary myofibroblastoma (MFB) is a rare mesenchymal tumor, derived from mammary stromal fibro/myofibroblasts, which has various morphological features and characteristic immunohistochemical staining. The epithelioid morphologic variant is defined, accordingly, as a proliferation of exclusively or predominantly (>50%) epithelioid cells, variably embedded in a myxoid to fibrous stroma. These his...

An unusually large myofibroblastoma in a male breast: a case report

INTRODUCTION Myofibroblastoma of the breast is a rare benign stromal tumour seen predominantly in men. The gross appearance is that of a well-circumscribed nodule, characteristically small, seldom exceeding 3 cm. We present a case of an unusually large myofibroblastoma, which mimicked a malignant breast tumour. CASE PRESENTATION A 65-year-old man presented with a rapid enlargement of the righ...

Solitary fibrous tumor: is there a molecular relationship with cellular angiofibroma, spindle cell lipoma, and mammary-type myofibroblastoma?

Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a mesenchymal tumor characterized by ovoid cells, branching blood vessels, stromal hyalinization, and CD34 immunoreactivity. Studies have shown loss of 13q in a group of morphologically similar entities, including cellular angiofibroma, mammary-type myofibroblastoma, and spindle cell lipoma. The histologic and immunophenotypic overlap between SFT and the latter g...

Mammary myofibroblastoma in the right lateral abdominal wall.

BACKGROUND A mammary-type myofibroblastoma is a rare soft tumor; extramammary myofibroblastomas are especially rare. CASE PRESENTATION A 51-year-old woman presented to our department for evaluation of a mass on the right lower abdominal wall. The mass was then excised completely. Gross examination showed a huge, well-circumscribed soft tissue mass. The pathologic diagnosis was an extramammary...
