Abstract

Hamartoma of the breast is a rare benign lesion composed of a variable quantity of adipose, fibrous and glandular tissue. and rarely transform into malignant lesions. This tumor affects women at any age from puberty. The reported incidence of this anomaly in the literature varies between 0.1 and 0.7% of all benign breast tumors. The radiological and histological aspects are variable and depend on its adipose tissue content. The identification of these lesions makes it possible, on the one hand, to avoid systematic surgical excisions and, on the other hand, will prevent the appearance of breast cancer in these normally benign lesions. In this report, we review the literature and describe a case report of non-specific invasive ductal type infiltrating carcinoma within a Hamartoma in a 48-year-old woman. Mammography, ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging showed the radiological semiology of a typical Hamartoma with suspicious microcalcifications on mammography. This case illustrates the importance of identifying unusual findings in a typical breast hamartoma during radiological examinations.
