Conclusion

its histopathology,
epidemiology,
imaging features,
sites of involvement,
and treatment.
The take-home points for mammary-type myofibroblastoma are:
1.
Slow growing tumor with variable lipomatous component,
and symptomatic at large size with mass effect,
2.
Male gender and fifth decade of life predominance,
3.
Sites: inguina,
lower extremity and trunk
4.
Well-circumscribed,
"rubbery-to-gelatinous" consistency,
not encapsulated with absence of cystic degeneration,
necrosis,
or hemorrhage,
5.
Diagnosis by immunohistochemistry with positivity to CD34 and desmin,
6.
Complete surgical resection is curative with very rare recurrence.
