Hamartoma of the breast is an uncommon lesion. Although it can possess characteristic radiological features, the pathological appearance is not distinctive. Hamartoma is generally considered benign, but four cases have been reported with ductal and lobular carcinoma arising in hamartomas.

We discuss current knowledge and management of splenic hamartoma, an uncommon form benign tumor. A hamartoma is a rare mass, often found incidentally while working up other complaints, typically treated by surgical resection the mass. In this case, we that was with laparoscopic partial splenectomy. The patient presented in Emergency Department complaining periumbilical pain after having been st...

Hepatic mesenchymal hamartoma is a rare benign tumor. We present an unusual case of a fetal abdominal cyst, later diagnosed histopathologically to be mesenchymal hamartoma of liver. The organ of origin was indeterminate on both prenatal and postnatal ultrasounds. As there are no specific sonological findings, whenever a large multicystic fetal abdominal cyst is seen, mesenchymal hamartoma shoul...

Eccrine angiomatous hamartoma is a rare hamartoma that usually affects childhood and adolescence. In this report we describe a typical onset and clinical presentation of eccrine angiomatous hamartoma. Histopathological analysis and immunohistochemical staining of the sections were done to confirm the diagnosis.

EpiGauss is a method that combines single dipole model with dipole clustering to characterize active brain generators in space and time related to EEG events. EpiGauss was applied to study epileptogenic activity in 4 patients suffering of hypothalamic hamartoma related epilepsy, a rare syndrome with a unique epileptogenic source – the hamartoma lesion – and natural propagation hypothesis – from...
