Abstract

Fibromatosis, a locally aggressive but non-metastasizing neoplastic proliferation of fibroblastic cells, commonly encountered in the abdominal wall and extra-abdominal sites but rarely occurs in the breast. Here we report a case of aggressive fibromatosis of breast, which presented as a palpable mass in the right breast of a 53-year-old female. The physical examination revealed a 12x10 cm sized ovoid mass in the right upper outer quadrant. Ultrasonogram demonstrated an 8x5 cm sized hypoechoic mass with peripheral increased vascularity on doppler imaging. Wide local excision was done and pathology revealed aggressive fibromatosis.
