Breast hamartomas : a hidden diagnosis

Abstract EN

We present two cases of breast hamartomas diagnosed within one year.

Mammograms performed for both patients were not suggestive of a breast hamartoma and a prospective diagnosis could only be obtained through MRI in one patient.

Both diagnoses were confirmed by histopathology.

Despite the increasing incidence of breast hamartomas as a result of increased screening, the diagnosis of breast hamartoma may be missed due to the variability in its mammographic and histopathological findings.
