Abstract
Breast hamartoma is a rare benign growth often overlooked and consequently not well-documented, mainly due to insufficient recognition of its distinct clinical and histological features. Increasing awareness about this relatively obscure benign condition is crucial because it can mimic both benign and malignant breast tumors clinically. Its association with breast cancer is infrequently documented in medical literature. Additionally, it may be linked to PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome, which involves a mutation of the PTEN tumor suppressor gene. This article presents a case study of a young woman diagnosed with left breast carcinoma, where imaging revealed a sizable mass on the opposite breast consistent with a breast hamartoma.

Abstract
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. The unusual presentation of breast hamartomas necessitates biopsy to exclude tumor. Incidence of malignancy is low, however has been reported before. Characteristic radiological imaging can help to minimize unnecessary surgery and morbidity.

Abstract
A 52-year-old patient referred to our hospital for a screening mammogram showed a
suspicious new architectural distortion. Previously, a fibroadenolipoma within
the right breast was diagnosed clinically and radiologically. Further work-up
with tomosynthesis, magnetic resonance imaging, and magnetic resonance-guided
biopsy showed an invasive ductal carcinoma within the fibroadenolipoma, which
are usually benign breast lesions not associated with malignancy. This case
report offers a review of the literature and a discussion of signs, which should
alert the radiologist.

Abstract
Abstract Hyperechogenicity is a sign classically reported to be in favour of a benign lesion and can be observed in many types of benign breast lesions such as hamartoma, lipoma, angiolipoma, haemangioma, haematoma, fat necrosis, fibrosis and galactocele, among others. However, some rare malignant breast lesions can also present a hyperechoic appearance. Most of these hyperechoic malignant lesions present other characteristics that are more typically suggestive of malignancy such as posterior shadowing, a more vertical axis or irregular margins that help to guide the diagnosis. Post magnetic resonance imaging, second-look ultrasound may visualise hyperechoic malignant lesions that would not have been identified at first sight and radiologists must know how to recognise these lesions. Teaching Points • Some rare malignant breast lesions can present a hyperechoic appearance. • Malignant lesions present other characteristics that are suggestive of malignancy. • An echogenic mass with fat density on mammography does not require biopsy.

Abstract
Hamartomas are tumours composed of mesenchymal tissues such as cartilage, fat, connective tissue and smooth muscle and can be found in virtually any organ system. These masses commonly develop sporadically, but are also seen in certain syndromes such as tuberous sclerosis or Carney triad. While their imaging appearance varies depending on the organ they arise from, findings are usually unique and a diagnosis can be confidently made. Radiologists must be aware of the clinical and imaging presentations of these lesions with the particular goal of avoiding unnecessary studies or invasive procedures. Furthermore, knowledge of common syndromic entities is crucial, as the radiologist may be the first to suggest the diagnosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Mammary hamartoma is a rare benign lesion accounting for approximately 4.8% of all benign breast masses. It is often underdiagnosed and therefore is underreported mostly due to lack of awareness of the characteristic clinical and histological features. Raising awareness of this poorly recognized benign entity is of utmost significance as it clinically mimics other breast tumors including both benign and malignant ones. This study is to report and present our experience of breast hamartomas from Johns Hopkins Aramco Healthcare in the Eastern province of Saudi Arabia from which there have not been previous studies in literature. METHOD A retrospective review of our pathology files was done from 1994 to 2014 for cases diagnosed as breast hamartoma during this 20 year period. RESULTS A total of 14 cases with diagnosis of breast hamartoma were identified in our institute. Histologically the lesion is mostly sharply demarcated showing a mixture of varying proportions of fibrous, adipose, and glandular tissue. 13 cases were seen in females (93%) and only one rare occurrence in a male patient (7%). The age ranges quite vastly from 18 to 51 years (mean 33 years). Two-third of these lesions were seen involving the right breast (9 cases/64.3%) and only one-third in the left side (5 cases/35.7%). 13 out of 14 patients had a well circumscribed lesion (92.9%) while only 1 case showed irregular borders (7.1%). The size varied from 1.4 to 9.5cm. Three cases (21.4%) showed evidence of myoid differentiation, a histopathologic variance which is important to identify however has no clinical significance. 3 cases had associated epithelial ductal hyperplasia of the usual type varying from mild (2 cases) to moderate (1 case); with two of these cases exhibiting additional features of fibrocystic mastopathy including adenosis, apocrine metaplasia, and cyst formation. None of our cases showed any malignancy or pseudoangiomatous stroma hyperplasia (PASH).

Abstract
Hamartomas of the breast, also known as fibroadenolipomas, lipofibroadenomas or adenolipomas, are benign lesions. Hamartomas account for between 0.04 and 1.15% of all benign breast tumors in females. Myoid hamartoma of the breast (MHB) is extremely rare. The present study describes a case of MHB in a 44-year-old female. Screening mammography revealed a lobulated partial indistinct isodense mass measuring ~3.8 cm in the upper outer quadrant of the left breast. Sonographic examinations revealed a 2–3-cm mass in the left breast, which was fairly well circumbscribed and demonstrated complex scattered echogenic areas and isoechoic tissue. A core needle biopsy demonstrated fibrocystic changes, with small focal ductule aggregations. As malignancy could not be excluded, a partial mastectomy was performed using a circumareolar incision. The mass was histopathologically diagnosed as MHB with focal chondromyoxid metaplasia and pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia. The histological diagnosis was based upon the findings of the well-circumscribed tumor, which was composed of entrapped mammary ducts, fat cells and myoid stromal components, with focal chondromyxoid metaplasia and pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia. The tumor cells exhibited diffuse cluster of differentiation 34-positive immunoreactivity, which was consistent with a diagnosis of pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Most of the breast lesions show hypoechogenicity relative to fat on ultrasonography. The frequency and malignancy rate of hyperechoic lesions are not investigated in a large series. PURPOSE To evaluate the frequency and malignancy rate of hyperechoic lesions on breast sonography and to investigate sonographic characteristics that may predict malignancy in hyperechoic breast lesions. MATERIAL AND METHODS Radiologic reports of 16,416 patients who underwent breast sonography between 2007 and 2008 were searched using "hyperechoic", "echogenic" or "heterogeneous echoic" to describe lesions. Sonographic findings were evaluated according to the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System lexicon. Clinical records including follow-up and pathologic findings were also reviewed. We calculated the frequency of hyperechoic lesions and their malignancy rate. Differences in sonographic appearances between benign and malignant lesions were also investigated. RESULTS Among the 16,416 patients, 103 (0.6%) hyperechoic lesions were identified (mean size, 1.79 cm). Of these 103 lesions, 27 (26.2%) were pathologically evaluated and five (4.9%, 4 invasive ductal carcinoma and 1 mucinous carcinoma) were confirmed as malignant. Among the 819 malignant lesions diagnosed using sonography-guided core needle biopsy, five (0.6%) were hyperechoic. In benign lesions, fat necrosis and fibroadenoma were common pathologic diagnoses. Malignant lesions were more likely to have irregular shape (P = 0.003), non-parallel orientation (P = 0.002), non-circumscribed margin (P = 0.007), and a hypoechoic area (P = 0.027) than benign lesions. All hyperechoic carcinomas were seen as suspicious masses on mammograms. CONCLUSION Hyperechoic masses are very rare and mostly benign. As an adjunct to mammography, the imaging findings reported here could help to avoid misdiagnosis for malignant hyperechoic lesion.

Abstract
Fat-containing breast lesions constitute a heterogeneous group of predominantly benign tumors and non-neoplastic conditions. The role of imaging is to distinguish leave-me-alone lesions from rarely occurring malignant fat-containing tumors that require histologic analysis. Correlating mammographic findings with appearance at ultrasonography often helps in identifying lesions that do not require further work-up. MRI can be valuable to confirm the presence of fat and characterize lesions indeterminate on conventional imaging. The purpose of this multimodality imaging review is to exemplify the radiologic appearances of common and uncommon fat-containing breast lesions to facilitate accurate diagnosis, avoid unnecessary interventions, and ensure appropriate management.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Breast ultrasound is helpful in the characterization of masses to differentiate benign from malignant disease. The internal echotexture of a mass is an important ultra-sound feature in breast diagnostic workup. This article reviews the imaging and histopathology findings of benign and malignant hyperechoic masses to better recognize these conditions. CONCLUSION Hyperechoic masses are frequently benign, including hematoma, fat necrosis, abscess, and benign neoplasm. Malignant hyperechoic lesions include invasive ductal and invasive lobular carcinoma, lymphoma, and sarcoma. Understanding lesion echotexture in the context of clinical and mammographic findings will help establish appropriate diagnoses for hyperechoic masses.

Abstract
Although breast lesions are commonly detected because of their hypoechogenicity, some lesions may present with hyperechogenicity due to their histological components. Hyperechogenicity has been shown to be highly predictive of benignity; however, hyperechoic lesions can occasionally be malignant. This article reviews hyperechoic lesions of the breast, describes the underlying histological causes associated with hyperechogenicity, and the sonographic features useful for the differential diagnosis between benign and malignant hyperechoic lesions.

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.
