Its rarity and distinctive morphology can lead to misinterpretation of other mesenchymal malignancies, which may result in unnecessary aggressive treatments.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case presentation<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A 39-year-old male presented with a left mammary mass that had been noticed 1 year earlier. Chest computed tomography identified a nodule characterized by fat density in the left mammary region. The initial clinical impression was gynecomastia. A local excision of the left mammary mass was subsequently performed. Histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of DFML. Post-surgical follow-up over 38\u202fmonths showed no recurrence.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>DFML is a benign lipomatous tumor with unique morphological features. Complete surgical excision typically leads to no recurrence. This report documents the first known instance of DFML in the mammary gland of a male patient. Furthermore, an analysis of 95 previously documented cases of DFML was conducted. It is strongly advocated that the World Health Organization reclassify DFML as a mucinous subtype of spindle cell lipoma. This reclassification would improve the understanding of DFML and help avoid unnecessary aggressive treatments due to misdiagnosis as a malignancy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fmed.2025.1653754","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,12]],"date-time":"2025-12-12T15:16:43Z","timestamp":1765552603000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Dendritic fibromyxolipoma of the male breast: case report and literary review"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Xiaolan","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Demian","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiaoxue","family":"Tian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ting","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Qiyao","family":"Ge","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shuai","family":"Luo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jinjing","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"111","DOI":"10.1016\/S1092-9134(98)80047-6","article-title":"Dendritic fibromyxolipoma: clinicopathologic study of a distinctive benign soft tissue lesion that may be mistaken for a sarcoma","volume":"2","author":"Suster","year":"1998","journal-title":"Ann Diagn Pathol"},{"key":"ref2","volume-title":"WHO classification of tumours.
