PEREZ VAZQUEZ, Mercedes; SANTIAGO PEREZ, Juana T; RIVERA VALDESPINO, Amparo de la C y BELTRAN SANCHEZ, Petra E. Breast hamartoma. Rev Cubana Cir [online]. 2004, vol.43, n.2, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-2945.
Breast hamartoma or breast fibroadenolipoma is a nodular lesion that may resemble a fibroadenoma or phyllodes tumor. It appears in middle-aged women and it clinically presents as a well defined and painless nodule. The imaging diagnosis makes to think about it, since it is an uncommon tumor. From the histological point of view, it fulfills the general requirements of a hamartoma: disarranged combination of mature and specialized tissues. Ductal and lobular structure with fibrous stroma, fat tissue and, on occasions, smooth muscular tissue, may be observed in the breast. A case of a 40-year-old female patient with a hamartoma of the right mamma that histologically showed osteal and cartilaginous tissue is reported
