Desmoid-Type Fibromatosis of The Breast: A Case Series

MethodsThis single-center case series was conducted at the breast clinic of Smart Health Tower in Sulaymaniyah, Iraq. It included all patients diagnosed as breast DTF by histopathological examination, with those lacking complete data excluded. The patients were treated and managed between January 2021 and August 2024.ResultsThis study involved seven female patients with a mean age of 35.29±14.29 years.

Clinically, six of them (85.71%) presented with a non-tender palpable breast mass, while one patient (14.28%) reported breast pain. Ultrasound revealed hypoechoic lesions in all cases. The average size of the masses was 29.43±17.26 mm.

All patients underwent wide local excision of the breast mass. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of DTF in all cases.ConclusionDiagnosing a desmoid tumor of the breast can be difficult, as it can mimic breast carcinoma. The Wide local excision is often the preferred treatment to prevent future recurrences.
