Abstract

Five cases of mammary hamartoma are described, with special reference to the radiographic features. Hamartomas are well circumscribed lesions composed of normal or dysplastic mammary tissue. They are probably more common than has been anticipated from the literature and are important because they may be confused with other well circumscribed tumors, such as cystosarcoma phyllodes. The radiographic characteristics of hamartoma allows a tentative diagnosis in most cases.
