Desmoid Fibromatosis Mimicking Breast Cancer After Nipple-Sparing Mastectomy

Abstract

women aged 40-55.1,2 The overall risk of breast cancer in the occidental female population is 9.6-13.1% and the risk of death is 3.4%.3 Surgery is the main approach for the treatment of breast cancer. There are several types of breast cancer surgeries and today conservative breast surgery (CBS) is taking the place of radical procedures.4 Mainly, CBS could be classified as wide local excision, quadranectomy, and nipple and skin sparing mastectomy (NSSM). Although there is still a lack of long term data up to date studies for the NSSM, locoregional recurrence is evaluated less than 1% per year which is acceptable when compared to radical and modified radical mastectomy.5
