{Abstract}: <B>BACKGROUND: </B>Desmoid fibroma (DF) is a disorder characterized by strong clonal proliferation of myofibroblasts and fibroblasts. We describe a case of DF that mimicked a breast tumor, along with a review of the literature on the clinical manifestation, diagnostic process, and course of therapy for this combative disease.<BR><B>METHODS: </B>A 34-year-old female patient with breast lump at the junction of the upper quadrants of the left breast. After the diagnosis of DF, it was decided to perform a sectorectomy of the left breast associated with post-quadrant reconstruction, with immunohistochemistry and findings compatible with DF.<BR><B>CONCLUSIONS: </B>Clinically manifests as a solid mass that is often painless and occasionally adherent to the chest wall. A treatment strategy should be idealized for each patient. Thus, there is the possibility of performing radical surgery for resection and/or radiotherapy, and surgery may be followed by radiotherapy.
