Journal ArticleDOI
Mammary myofibroblastoma: a tumor with a wide morphologic spectrum.
TL;DR: The incidence of MFB diagnosis has increased in recent years, likely due to the mammographic screening, and this unusual benign tumor may represent a potential diagnostic pitfall, especially when interpreting fine-needle aspiration and/or needle core biopsy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nodular fasciitis: a retrospective study of 272 cases from China with clinicopathologic and radiologic correlation
TL;DR: This comprehensive study demonstrated that NF had a wide clinicopathologic spectrum and correlation with the radiologic features may help pathologists in arriving at an accurate diagnosis.

TL;DR: The rarity and the unspecific clinical and radiological characteristics of breast nodular fasciitis make the differential diagnosis and management challenging and knowledge of the clinical, pathological and prognostic aspects of this condition is crucial for breast care specialists to improve their diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nodular fasciitis of the male breast: a case report.
TL;DR: This is the first reported case of a lesion of this type in the male breast of a 40-year-old man, and the patient underwent a total excision of the lesion and is free of disease after 14 months.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mesenchymal tumours of the breast and their mimics: a review with approach to diagnosis.
TL;DR: This comprehensive review provides a diagnostic approach to specific challenging mesenchymal tumours of the breast and their mimics, with a discussion on the salient morphological, immunohistochemical and molecular features that allow accurate diagnosis and will help the pathologist avoid potential pitfalls.

Nodular (Pseudosarcomatous) fasciitis, a nonrecurrent lesion: Clinicopathologic study of 134 cases
TL;DR: Though all lesions were histologically reminiscent of reparative mesenchymal tissue, four subtypes—the reactive type, the densely cellular type, those with osteoid or cartilaginous metaplasia, and the so‐called proliferative fasciitis—were distinguished from the majority of lesions that conform to the description given by Kornwaler.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nodular fasciitis: spontaneous resolution following diagnosis by fine-needle aspiration
TL;DR: Small palpable masses in the subcutaneous soft tissues which evolve over a short period of time and show the cytologic features of nodular fasciitis should be managed nonsurgically, if resolution does not occur within a few weeks.

Nodular fasciitis and fibromatosis of the female breast simulating breast cancer. Case reports.
TL;DR: These rare lesions simulated breast cancer clinically and mammographically and Histological diagnosis was obtained by excision of the lesions.

TL;DR: The cytogenetic findings in a case of nodular fasciitis of the breast showed consistent abnormalities in all 11 metaphases available for analysis, and the metacentric der(?)t(?;2) was demonstrated to have part of chromosome 2 on the q arm.

Pseudosarcomatous proliferative lesions of soft tissues
TL;DR: The pseudosarcomatous proliferative lesions of soft tissues are fascia-based fibroblastic and myofibro Blastic lesions that have the potential to be overdiagnosed as sarcomas.
