Multimodality images of myofibroblastoma in the male breast: A case report and a review of the literature

Clin Imaging. 2018 Sep-Oct:51:300-306. doi: 10.1016/j.clinimag.2018.06.004. Epub 2018 Jun 18.

Abstract

We report a case of a 58-year-old male diagnosed with myofibroblastoma using mammography, ultrasound, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), as well as present a review of the literature. The pathological diagnosis was myofibroblastoma with spindle cell neoplasm with immunoreactivity. Myofibroblastoma is a rare benign disease and there is a lack of reports of multimodality imaging of this disease. We review the imaging features of this rare disease across multiple imaging modalities with pathological correlation, and provide current treatment recommendations as well.

Keywords: Breast neoplasms; Magnetic resonance imaging; Mammography; Myofibroblastoma; Ultrasonography.
