Breast Fibromatosis

Rodrigo Arrangoiz MS, MD, FACS, FSSO
  • Breast fibromatosis:
    • May occur sporadically or:
      • Less commonly, in patients with a germline syndrome
    • Mutations in the beta-catenin gene (CTNNB1):
      • Are found in about 45% of fibromatosis:
        • Whereas mutations in other components of the same pathway, such as in:
          • The adenomatous polyposis coli gene (APC) or 5q loss occur in about 30%:
            • The APC mutation is associated with Gardner syndrome:
              • Desmoid tumors
              • Osteomas
              • Colon adenomas, and other tumors
            • Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP1) syndromes
