mammary-type myofibroblastoma

Mammary-type myofibroblastoma, although first described in the breast, is now recognized to occur at a wider variety of extramammary locations, most often the inguinal region.

It shares cytogenetic similarities with spindle cell lipoma, to which it is probably closely related.
