Unusual mammographic and ultrasonographic findings in fibromatosis of the breast

Eur Radiol. 2001;11(11):2241-3. doi: 10.1007/s003300100956.

Abstract

Fibromatosis of the breast is an uncommon disease, most often appearing as an aggressive lesion mimicking carcinoma on mammography. We describe, in an asymptomatic 40-year-old woman, an unusual imaging appearance of fibromatosis of the breast mimicking a benign lesion at mammographic and sonographic studies.
