Description
Correa Sandoval and three co-authors reported this rare medical case in twenty twenty-four. A twenty-eight-year-old man found a lump in his right breast after liposuction done to shape his chest. Scans suggested cancer. Growths of this kind, called desmoid-type fibromatosis, are harmless but can invade nearby tissue, and they almost always occur in women.
A needle biopsy showed fibromatosis rather than cancer. Surgeons removed the growth fully, with clean edges of healthy tissue. Lab checks confirmed the benign diagnosis. No return of the growth appeared during follow-up. The authors note that such growths can mimic cancer on scans, so tissue checks and full removal matter for care.
