Abstract

Breast hamartomas are uncommon breast tumours with unclear pathogenesis & varied histological patterns resulting in under-diagnosis. Immune-histochemistry is a valuable tool in their diagnosis. We report the case of a large myoid hamartoma of breast. Based on our literature search this is the largest reported size of a myoid breast hamartoma that was successfully managed by enucleation. 

Keywords: myoid hamartomas, immunohistochemistry.
