General

  • Rare.
  • Excision = cure.
  • Postmenopausal females and older males.[1][2]

Note:

  • In extra-mammary sites the tumour is known as a mammary-type myofibroblastoma may immunohistochemically and histomorphologically overlap with spindle cell lipoma.[3]

Features:[4]

  • Well-circumscribed lesion.
  • Spindle cells without nuclear atypia arranged in fascicles.
  • Interspersed thick bundles of collagen.

Notes:

  • No calcifications.
  • No necrosis.
  • No hemorrhage.
