FIBROMATOSIS OF THE BREAST - A CASE-REPORT

Fibromatosis of the female breast is rare. We dealt with a recurrent c ase of fibromatosis four months after a wide excision of the tumor. It was difficult to differentiate the tumor from carcinoma and only a pa thological examination could lead to the final diagnosis. Ultrasonogra phic findings are so characteristic that we would like to emphasize th e usefulness of ultrasonography not only in distinguishing between rec urrence and operative scar but also in defining the diagnosis as fibro matosis of the breast.
