Abstract
SummaryA 22‐year‐old woman who presented with a large lump in the left breast, subsequently found to be a breast hamartoma, is described. A full review is given of this rare and unusual benign breast lesion, which is likely to be recognised increasingly with the advent of mammographic screening.
