Myofibroblastoma (MFB) is a relatively rare tumor of the breast parenchyma, which belongs to the family of the 'benign stromal tumor of the breast'. Two cases of MFB of the breast are described. Radiological imaging is nonspecific in MFB, and pathological examination of needle biopsy or surgically resected specimen is necessary for the diagnosis. Surgery is recommended and considered curative without additional treatment; however, patients should be followed-up.

Abstract
Myofibroblastoma (MFB) is a relatively rare tumor of the breast parenchyma, which belongs to the family of the 'benign stromal tumor of the breast'. Two cases of MFB of the breast are described. Radiological imaging is nonspecific in MFB, and pathological examination of needle biopsy or surgically resected specimen is necessary for the diagnosis. Surgery is recommended and considered curative without additional treatment; however, patients should be followed-up.
