Breast Hamartoma: A Rare Case Report
Journal Title: National Journal of Laboratory Medicine - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
ABSTRACT Hamartomas of the breast are rare benign lesion which are often seen in females more than 35 years of age. Here, we present a case report of a 32-year-old female with progressively enlarging left sided breast lump which was clinically suspected to be phyllodes tumour while fine needle aspiration cytology suspected it to be fibroadenoma. A final diagnosis of hamartoma of breast was given on histological examination of the excised lump. Hence, histological examination of this entity is important as it can mimic other lesions of breast clinicoradiologically.
