ABSTRACT
Breast hamartoma is an uncommon benign lesion composed of varying amounts of fatty, fibrous, and glandular elements. We report a case of mammary hamartoma discovered in a 43-year-old patient presenting a large breast nodule of the left breast and discuss the literature data. The gross aspect is a well-delimited nodule resembling a fibroadenoma, but clinical diagnosis of hamartoma is difficult. Mammography usually establishes the diagnosis. Sonography is uncontributive. The biopsy is not necessary for diagnosis and surgery is unnecessary (apart from esthetic purposes). We report illustrative pathology, radiology and clinical data observed in a case of hamartoma of the breast with a literature review.
