  • Title: [Primary fibroblastic tumor of the breast. Review of the literature apropos of a case of desmoid tumor of the breast posing nosologic problems with a low-grade fibrosarcoma].
    Author: Afifi A, Descamps P, Vidal JM, Devilliers JL, Bardaxoglou E.
    Journal: J Gynecol Obstet Biol Reprod (Paris); 1990; 19(3):309-14. PubMed ID: 2161028.
    Abstract:
    The authors present a case of fibromatosis in the breast in a young nulliparous patient. These are rare tumours comparable to abdominal desmoid tumours. They are characterised by their ability to recur if spread locally, that is why they have to be widely removed. After having studied the anatomical and clinical characteristics as well as the biological ones of breast fibromatoses the authors discuss the problems of nosology which are often very difficult for this kind of a tumour and also of the therapy that has to be adapted.
