Abstract
Myofibroblastoma (MFB) is an extremely rare benign tumor that can arise in various organs, but commonly in the breast. Albeit it is a benign tumor, the diagnosis is frequently challenging with insurmountable difficulties as it might be erroneously diagnosed as a malignancy. Herein we are reporting a large-sized MFB presented as a non-tender, firm mass which interestingly was adherent to the skin and was initially thought as cancer. The patient underwent a wide local excision and histology confirmed MFB, and had no evidence of recurrence up to 8 months post-operatively.
