This case report details a rare benign breast tumor, fibroadenolipoma, in a 36-year-old woman. Surgical excision confirmed it as a fibroadenomatous hamartoma, highlighting the importance of histopathology for diagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pathology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Breast hamartoma is a rare, benign tumor composed of glandular, fatty, and fibrous tissues.
  • Distinguishing benign breast masses from malignant ones is crucial for appropriate patient management.

Observation:

  • A 36-year-old woman presented with a palpable right breast mass of two months' duration.
  • Imaging studies, including ultrasonography and mammography, identified a 10 cm mass.
  • The mass was provisionally diagnosed as a fibroadenolipoma based on imaging characteristics.

Findings:

  • Surgical excision of the breast mass was performed without complications.
  • Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of fibroadenomatous hamartoma.
  • This confirms the benign nature of the tumor, differentiating it from malignant breast neoplasms.

Implications:

  • Accurate diagnosis of benign breast lesions like hamartomas is essential to avoid unnecessary aggressive treatments.
  • This case underscores the role of combined imaging and histopathology in the definitive diagnosis of breast masses.
  • Understanding the presentation of rare benign breast tumors aids clinicians in differential diagnosis and patient counseling.
