Abstract

Myofibroblastoma of the breast is a rare benign tumor of the stromal breast tissue, which may be seen among postmenopausal female and older male patients. This paper describes one case of mammary myofibroblastoma in a male patient with typical histological features. Due to its diverse characteristics on imaging, myofibroblastoma poses a diagnostic dilemma among physicians, often necessitating histopathological analysis. Physicians should be aware of its varied appearances especially in the setting of an increased incidence of myofibroblastoma in recent years, likely due to the widespread increase in mammographic screening.

Ultrasound of the breast in long and transverse views demonstrates a 13 x 9 x 13 mm oval mass with indistinct margins with mixed echogenicity.
