  • Title: Invasive ductal carcinoma in a mammary hamartoma: case report and review of the literature.
    Author: Choi N, Ko ES.
    Journal: Korean J Radiol; 2010; 11(6):687-91. PubMed ID: 21076596.
    Abstract:
    Mammary hamartomas are typically a benign condition and rarely develop into malignant lesions. Only 14 cases of carcinomas associated with a hamartoma have been documented in the literature. In this case report, we describe a case of invasive ductal carcinoma within a hamartoma in a 72-year-old woman. Mammography, ultrasonography, and magnetic resonance imaging showed the features of a typical hamartoma with a suspicious mass arising in it. This case illustrates the importance of identification of unusual findings in a typical mammary hamartoma on radiologic examinations.
