description | Breast hamartomas are uncommon slowly growing lesions. Imaging findings are specific and usually relay on common mammographic picture of breast within breast appearance. I present a case of 48 years female patient, with recent history of palpable right breast mass, the imaging findings are atypical for breast hamartoma.

Characteristic radiological imaging can help to minimize unnecessary surgery and morbidity. |
