Calcified aponeurotic fibroma is a rare benign fibroblastic tumor. The lesion has property of local invasion and high recurrence. Because of this property, tumor should be accurately diagnosed pre-operatively. We report a case of 29 years old male, with a palpable painful mass on the anterior chest wall near left pectoral region, describes radiographic and MR findings. No skin defect was detected but patient feels discomfort. An excision procedure was done. The excised tissue was sent for biopsy and calcified aponeurotic fibroma was diagnosed.
