title: Myofibroblastoma of the breast.
abstract: Myofibroblastoma of the breast is an uncommon stromal tumor most often found in older men. It usually presents as a solitary well-circumscribed breast lesion consisting of slender bipolar spindle cells and broad bands of hyalinised collagen. This is the first documented case of myofibroblastoma of the breast in Australia. Found in a 71-year-old man, this case demonstrates many of the typical features of this entity. A history of previous trauma to the chest wall was present in this case, a finding only rarely associated with this lesion.
