Lobular carcinoma in a mammary hamartoma.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mammary hamartomas are uncommon breast lesions, sometimes presenting as mammographic abnormalities which require pathological clarification. Previous cases have all been benign. A unique case of mammary hamartoma containing atypical lobular hyperplasia (ALH), lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS), and foci of microinvasive lobular carcinoma is presented. The need for adequately sampling macroscopically innocuous breast lesions is emphasised.

The pathogenesis is still poorly understood and breast hamartoma is not a well-known disorder, so its diagnosis is underestimated by clinicians and pathologists. This study was designed to present our experience with breast hamartoma, along with a literature review. METHOD...
متن کاملNeurofolicullar hamartoma presenting as a rare adnexal neoplasm in association with basal cell carcinoma
Background: Neurofollicular hamartoma (NFH) is characterized histopathologically by fascicles of spindle cells that laterally delimited by hyperplastic folliculosebaceous units. It usually appears on face, near the nose or nasolabial fold. It does not manifest true neural differentiation and recently the term spindle cell predominant trichodiscoma (SCPT) has been used instead. Case Presentatio...
