Leiomyoma is a benign smooth muscle neoplasm. They can occur in any organ, but the most common forms occur in the uterus, small bowel and the esophagus. Leiomyoma of breast is a rare benign non epithelial tumor. Most leiomyomas in the breast are found in the subareolar region. There are few cases being reported in the literature. Here we report a case of 52 years old lady who presented to us with a painless right sided breast lump. There was no history of nipple discharge, trauma or use of oral contraceptive pills. Excisional biopsy revealed a growth pattern of interlacing fascicles of smooth-muscle cells consistent with leiomyoma of breast.
