Abstract Introduction Myofibroblastoma of the breast is a rare benign stromal tumour seen predominantly in men. The gross appearance is that of a well-circumscribed nodule characteristically small seldom exceeding 3 cm. We present a case of an unusually large myofibroblastoma which mimicked a malignant breast tumour. Case presentation A 65-year-old man presented with a rapid enlargement of the right breast over 6 weeks. Examination revealed a firm 15 cm hemispherical lump occupying the whole of the right breast with peau d orange appearance of the overlying skin and distortion of the nipple. The clinical and radiological features suggested the possibility of sarcoma of the breast. However a guided Tru-Cut biopsy was inconclusive. A mastectomy was performed to remove the tumour which weighed more .
