Abstract
Myofibroblastoma of the breast is a recently recognized benign mesench ymal mammary tumor that typically occurs as a unilateral, solitary les ion. Myofibroblastomas are well-circumscribed, unencapsulated tumors c haracterized by spindle cells in fascicles which exhibit varying degre es of myogenic and fibroblastic differentiation. Our case reports a ma mmary myofibroblastoma occurring in an 82-year-old male with gynecomas tia and reviews the reported incidence of this benign spindle cell tum or in the world literature.
