A pathologist stumbles upon a male breast lump not uncommonly.Through the present case report, we uncover one of the rare breast tumors that every pathologist should be aware of, as it is often mistaken for a malignant lesion which in turn leads to radical treatment. To complicate things, this tumor also has multiple morphological variants. Here we present a case of Myofibroblastoma in a middle aged male patient, which was of epithelioid variant. Further the diagnosis was confirmed by Immunohistochemistry. A careful microscopic evaluation in the light of a good clinical history and supporting immunohistochemistry usually clinches the diagnosis.
