Abstract EN
Myofibroblastoma (MFB) is a rare mesenchymal tumor arising in breast's soft tissue with a great variety of microscopic features that can be mistaken with a wide variety of biphasic lesions.
The authors report a rare case of myofibroblastoma of the breast arising in a mammary hamartoma (MH), present a review of the clinicopathological features of these lesions, and make some diagnostic considerations.
The tumour consisted of a well-circumscribed nodule.
MFB component comprised about fifty percent of the lesion and was made up of bipolar spindle cells arranged in fascicular clusters separated by bands of hyalinized collagen.
There were fat cells and several residual hamartoma glands intermingled and distorted in MFB area.
MFB component was positive for Desmin, CD34, bcl-2, and Calponin.
To the best of our knowledge, MFB has not been reported in MH, neither has any of the reports described mammary glands joined within MFB.
