Myofibroblastoma of the breast
Abstract
Myofibroblastoma of the breast is a rare benign mesenchymal tumor. The literature describes relatively few cases of this type of tumor. We report on a case of Myofibroblastoma in 56-year-old female from our institution. The purpose of this report is to describe the characteristics and differential diagnosis of this rare tumor.
