Introduction: Desmoid fibroma (DF) is a disorder characterized by strong clonal proliferation of myofibroblasts and fibroblasts. We describe a case of DF that mimicked a breast tumor, along with a review of the literature on the clinical manifestation, diagnostic process, and course of therapy for this combative disease.
Case Report: A 34-year-old female patient with breast lump at the junction of the upper quadrants of the left breast.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS 3) and its ability to predict mortality in critically ill COVID-19 patients in Brazil.
- During the first wave of the pandemic, patients exhibited more severe conditions and comorbidities, with SAPS 3 proving more effective in mortality prediction compared to the second wave.
- Findings indicated that older age and higher SAPS 3 scores were consistently associated with increased mortality, highlighting the score's importance in assessing patient prognosis in different pandemic waves.
