Description
Summary:Mazabraud syndrome is a very rare condition with ap- proximately 67 cases documented in the international literature.1 It is associated with monostotic or polyostotic forms of fibrous dysplasia and soft tissue or, more often, intramuscular myxomas arising from benign proliferation of dysplastic fibrous connective tissue and proliferation of cells with mesenchymatic origin. A recent review listed until now 68 patients with this syndrome.1 Breast disorders have been reported in two of these cases and included a breast fibrosarcoma in a 23-year-old female patient with multiple myxomas and polyostotic fibrous dysplasia and a breast fibrous dysplasia in a 35-year-old woman with multiple myx- omas, polyostotic fibrous dysplasia as well as "cafe au lait'' skin spots.3, 4 The breast lesion identified in the patient of the current report proved to be a benign in- tracystic ductal papilloma.
