Collagenous Fibroma : A Case Identified In Breast

Desmoplastic fibroma is a rare, benign soft-tissue tumor composed of spindled and stellate-shaped cells that are embedded in a dense collagenous stroma. The most common sites are the upper extremities, followed by the lower extremities. Rare lesions arise in the head and neck region. The present study describes the case of 56 year old female who presented with an inactive, firm painless swelling below the nipple areola complex in the left breast. A biopsy was preformed and the result of the histopathological examination indicated a collagenous fibroma. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Date of Submission: 28-08-2018 Date of acceptance: 10-09-2018 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
