Breast myxoma: Radiologic and histopathologic features

Breast J. 2007 Jan-Feb;13(1):88-90. doi: 10.1111/j.1524-4741.2006.00370.x.

Abstract

Myxomas are benign mesenchymal tumors, which rarely develop in the breast. Histologically, stellate, round, and spindle-shaped cells with vesicular nuclei and scant cytoplasm are scattered in the myxoid stroma. We present a case of this rare type of breast tumor with sonographic and mammographic findings.
