Abstract

Abstract:

Objective

To analyze the clinical and ultrasonographic features of breast hamartoma.

Methods

A retrospective analysis was conducted on 61 lesions of 60 female patients with pathologically confirmed breast hamartoma who underwent surgical treatment at Peking Union Medical College Hospital from July 2002 to June 2023. The clinical data and ultrasonographic examination results were reviewed, and the characteristics of breast hamartoma were summarized.

Results

All patients were female with an average age of (44.1±11.9) years. Breast hamartomas were predominantly located in the outer quadrants of the breast, with a medium diameter of 3.20 cm. The ultrasonographic features varied among cases. Typical sonographic characteristics of breast hamartoma included regular shape, clear borders, predominantly hypoechoic interior with intermingled linear or band-like hyperechoic areas, and poor vascularity on color Doppler imaging.

Conclusion

Breast hamartoma has certain clinical and sonographic characteristics. Ultrasonography is the preferred diagnostic method for breast hamartoma, providing important information for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
