Abstract:
Myofibrolastoma of the breast (MFB) is a rare and benign stromal tumor. Although MFB is a benign entity, in radiologic evaluation, there is no specific diagnostic feature. Conventional breast imaging findings have been published before. Sonoelastography has been used as an imaging method that allows us to evaluate tissue stiffness in vivo and increases the specificity of B-mode ultrasonography in the discrimination of benign-malignant lesions. In this case report, it was shown that MFB is of high stiffness in shear wave elastography (SWE) evaluation. SWE findings of MFB, which is a benign lesion, have been described for the first time in the literature.
