Benign smooth muscle cell metaplasia in breast

Tumori. 1980 Oct 31;66(5):643-53. doi: 10.1177/030089168006600513.

Abstract

Three different benign breast lesions showing smooth muscle cells in the stroma are reported. Benign smooth muscle cells are rarely found in the breast, and it is likely that they originate from metaplastic changes of the stroma itself.
