| Popis: | Hamartoma of the breast is a rare and usually benign tumour with a variable growth pattern. Slowly increasing breast asymmetry is the most common clinical finding. Smaller hamartomas are often diagnosed on mammography. Simple enuclea-tion and secondary expansion of the breast tissue are often sufficient to restore breast symmetry but sometimes, as in the two cases presented, reconstruction is necessary. |
