Résumé

Extra-abdominal fibromatosis is an uncommon benign breast lesion resembling an infiltrative carcinoma in its clinical and radiological presentation. Surgical excision with wide margins remains the treatment of choice to avoid recurrence of this locally aggressive tumor. We present a case in which surgical biopsy allowed the diagnosis of a breast fibromatosis and we discuss its clinical, diagnostic, pathological and therapeutic particularities.
