Abstract

The "breast within a breast" sign is used to describe the appearance of a breast hamartoma, also known as a fibroadenolipoma. A breast hamartoma is a benign mass made up of the same tissues that are found in a normal breast, giving the appearance of a breast within a breast on mammography. The "breast within a breast" sign is pathognomonic for a breast hamartoma and can help confidently diagnose these masses as benign without the need for further imaging or biopsy.<br />Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper.<br /> (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Inc.
