Hamartoma of the breast is a rare and usually benign tumour with a var
iable growth pattern. Slowly increasing breast asymmetry is the most c
ommon clinical finding. Smaller hamartomas are often diagnosed on mamm
ography. Simple enucleation and secondary expansion of the breast tiss
ue are often sufficient to restore breast symmetry but sometimes, as i
n the two cases presented, reconstruction is necessary.
