Abstract
|
|
|
|
Fibromatosis is a rare benign tumor that presents predominantly as a unilateral, painless, palpable, and firm to hard mass which may be accompanied by skin dimpling and nipple retraction. It is characterized as an infiltrating fibroblastic and myofibroblastic proliferation that can behave in a locally aggressive fashion if incompletely excised. However, it is not known to metastasize. We report a case of a 39-year-old female with recurrent fibromatosis in the breast. Initially, the mass was detected by a screening mammography. It appeared as an oval mass and recurred twice after surgical excision over a 36-month period with a more suspicious appearance.
