Abstract

Primary fibromatosis of the breast is a very rare pathology which looks like a malignant tumor, clinically and radiologically. Fibromatosis of the breast is characterised by a local invasion and a risk of recurrence. Positive diagnosis is provided by histology and its treatment is surgical. The aim of this study was to report one case and to emphasize the difficulties encountered in the diagnosis and the treatment.
