Dense, low reflective mass with no significant vascularity
Case Discussion
At histology there is benign post traumatic fibrosis with a similar pattern to retroperitoneal fibrosis
Focal fibrosis may appear as a either a well circumscribed mass, an irregular mass or as focal asymmetry at mammography.
It is composed of dense collagenous stroma with sparse glandular and vascular elements
