Cc. Yoo et al., MYOFIBROBLASTOMA ASSOCIATED WITH BILATERAL GYNECOMASTIA - A CASE-REPORT AND LITERATURE-REVIEW, Oncology Reports, 5(3), 1998, pp. 731-733
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.
