Abstract:
Desmoid fibromatosis of the breast is a rare benign condition of the breast (0.2% of breast tumors) that clinically and sonographically mimics breast cancer.
The diagnosis is confirmed by histology, allowing the elimination of the main differential diagnosis of this entity which is metaplastic spindle cell carcinoma.
Breast fibromatosis is characterized by a local evolution and a tendency to recurrence, hence the interest of surgical excision with healthy margins. Radiation therapy should be discussed in such cases.
Through our case and the review of the literature, we will try to focus on the diagnosis of this rare entity and its management because it influences the prognosis.
