OBJECTIVES:

Breast hamartoma is an uncommon breast tumor that accounts for approximately 4.8% of all benign breast masses. The pathogenesis is still poorly understood and breast hamartoma is not a well-known disorder, so its diagnosis is underestimated by clinicians and pathologists. This study was designed to present our experience with breast hamartoma, along with a literature review.

METHOD:

We reviewed the demographic data, pathologic analyses and imaging and results of patients diagnosed with breast hamartoma between December 2003 and September 2013.

RESULTS:

In total, 27 cases of breast hamartoma operated in the Ankara University Medicine Faculty's Department of General Surgery were included in the study. All patients were female and the mean age was 41.8±10.8 years. The mean tumor size was 3.9±2.7 cm. Breast ultrasound was performed on all patients before surgery. The most common additional lesion was epithelial hyperplasia (22.2%). Furthermore, lobular carcinoma in situ was identified in one case and invasive ductal carcinoma was observed in another case. Immunohistochemical staining revealed myoid hamartoma in one case (3.7%).

CONCLUSION:

Breast hamartomas are rare benign lesions that may be underdiagnosed because of the categorization of hamartomas as fibroadenomas by pathologists. Pathologic examinations can show variability from one case to another. Thus, the true incidence may be higher than the literature indicates.

INTRODUCTION

Breast hamartoma is an uncommon breast tumor that accounts for approximately 4.8% of all benign breast masses (1) and that contains lobular breast tissue involving various fibrous, fibrocystic and adipose tissues (2). However, with increasing social awareness and widespread breast cancer screening, hamartomas are being routinely diagnosed with greater frequency. The pathogenesis of hamartomas remains unclear and its diagnosis is underestimated by clinicians and pathologists. In the literature, breast hamartoma is presented only in case reports and reviews of wide series are very rare. Thus, this study was designed to present the clinicopathologic findings of twenty-seven patients with breast hamartoma.

METHODS

Between December 2003 and September 2013, 27 cases of breast hamartoma operated in the Ankara University Medicine Faculty's Department of General Surgery were included in this study. The histopathology records, clinical follow-up data and previous breast imaging results of the patients were obtained. These data were again analyzed and annotated by clinicians and pathologists.

RESULTS

Demographic features, tumor sizes, preoperative imaging procedures, pathologic results and treatment modalities are shown in Table1). Clinically, most (24) patients had painless, soft-to-firm, palpable breast lumps and three patients had breast asymmetry. Breast ultrasonography (US) was performed on all of the patients as the first preoperative imaging procedure. In addition to US, mammography was performed in 6 cases and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was conducted in one case. In total, 23 cases showed features characteristic of fibroadenoma or hamartoma. In 4 patients (14.8%), US revealed a partial irregular border, and fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) was performed and revealed benign lesions. Pathologic examination usually revealed a well-circumscribed mass with normal breast components, such as a terminal ductal lobular unit, fat and a hyalinized stroma (Figures1A-B). The lesions usually showed fibrocystic changes, columnar cell changes and adenosis. No proliferative lesions were observed in 14 patients (51.9%). The most common additional proliferative lesion was ductal epithelial hyperplasia, which was diagnosed in 6 patients (22.2%) (Figure2). We identified lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) in one case and invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) in another case, near the breast hamartoma (3.7%). Pseudoangiomatous hyperplasia was observed in 7 cases (25.9%) (Figure3). One case (3.7%) was pathologically reported as breast myoid hamartoma and this hamartoma stained positive for desmin, smooth muscle actin (SMA) and CD34 (Figures4A-C). Mastectomy and sentinel lymph node biopsy were performed on the patient with IDC and lumpectomies were performed on the other patients.

DISCUSSION

Breast hamartomas are poorly defined, rare, benign breast neoplasms. Hamartomas were initially defined as mastomas in 1928 by Prym (3). Afterward, several cases were reported and classified as adenolipomas, fibroadenolipomas or lipofibroadenomas (4). Arrigoni et al. (5) first used the term hamartoma in 1971. Hamartoma is referred to as myoid hamartoma, a rarer form, when it shows a significant smooth muscle component. This term was first used by Davies and Riddell (6) in 1973.

Articles related to breast hamartoma in the literature are mostly case reports and rarely case series; therefore, they are limited in number. Thus, there are few data about these tumors. We compiled the published case reports and case series in PubMed from between 1993 and 2013 in terms of demographic features, tumor size, applied imaging procedures, pathology reports and the results of additional staining, which are shown in Table2) (7-43).

The incidence of breast hamartoma among benign breast tumors was reported to be 4.8% by Charpin et al. (1) in a large case series in 1994. In total, 27 hamartomas (3.1%) were diagnosed among 864 benign breast tumors at our center over the last ten years. In the literature (23,28,29,31,33,34,37), the average age of the patients with breast hamartoma ranged between 33.5 and 66.5 years. In our study, the age range was from 19-56 years and the mean age was 41.8 years. There was only one patient under 20 years of age and 7 patients were over 50 years of age.

The etiopathogenesis of breast hamartomas is not clear but they are thought to result from dysgenesis (44) rather than a true tumorous process. However, female sex steroid hormones (34) have been implicated in the development of breast hamartomas. In one study, Herbert et al. (33) reported estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) positivity in epithelial cells and stromal cells in all 24 cases with breast hamartomas. Additionally, there are no clear data on the source of smooth muscle for myoid hamartomas, but this muscle could derive from vessels, the nipples, undifferentiated breast stromal tissue or myoepithelial cells (4,14). Another hypothesized smooth muscle source is the metaplasia of breast stromal cells (14) into smooth muscle cells. The existence of CD34 on smooth muscles (21,34) is an important sign of the metaplasia of stromal cells into smooth muscle cells, but there are no clear data on this subject. Myoid hamartomas stain strongly positive for SMA, desmin and vimentin (8) by immunohistochemical staining. In our study, only 1 patient of 27 was diagnosed with myoid hamartoma and immunohistochemical staining for desmin, SMA and CD34 was positive, consistent with the literature.

With increasing social awareness and the use of numerous diagnostic procedures on breast lumps, including mammography, ultrasound, and MRI, it is expected that more hamartomas will be reported. Breast hamartomas have a typical mammographic appearance. The radiolucent lesions include fat; various amounts of fibrous and adenomatous tissues, with smooth rims; and occasionally, a thin capsule (4). US evaluates breast hamartomas as having sonolucent fat and a heterogeneous internal echo pattern with echogenic fibrous components (45). Alongside US, MRI characteristically shows a smooth and well-defined hypointense rim, internal heterogeneous enhancement and the presence of fat density (34). In the present study, US was used for all patients as the first imaging procedure and in addition to US, mammography was utilized for 6 patients. MRI was used only for 1 patient with IDC.

The pathologic features of hamartomas are not well known. The original definition consisted of a fibrous fatty stroma including various amounts of epithelial elements, as well as nodular lesions. The fibrous and fatty tissues were used for the early classification of hamartomas: McGuire et al. (46) classified breast hamartomas as fibrous, fatty or fibrous-fatty. Jones et al. (47) suggested 4 classification groups for breast hamartomas: encapsulated fibrocystic changes, fibroadenoma with a fibrous stroma, fibroadenoma-like and surrounded adenolipoma. These classifications were not widely accepted. No criteria with detailed explanations of breast hamartomas are used by pathologists. Fechner et al. (48) described the lobular distribution and the presence of fat in breast hamartomas as distinguishing features compared with fibroadenomas. A fibrotic stroma surrounding the lobules and extending into the interlobular areas, causing obliteration, is the most frequently observed feature; most authors (2,47,48) refer to this feature as interlobular fibrosis. However, interlobular fibrosis is not specific to breast hamartomas. In sclerosing hyperplasia, an increasing number of interlobular glands are observed as round masses with interlobular fibrosis, which can mimic breast hamartomas. The absence of fatty tissue in the stromal structure is often associated with fibroadenomas, so this condition can be distinguished from sclerosing lobular hyperplasia and breast hamartomas (33,34,45). Fischer et al. (2) defined the presence of a pseudoangiomatous stroma particularly in breast hamartomas. This condition was revealed to be a consistent observation in subsequent reports and the incidence rate (34,49) varied between 16 and 71% (34). We also found the rate to be 25.9% in our series, in line with the literature.

Malignancies associated with breast hamartomas (9,11,16,29,31,42,50) are rarely observed, and only a few studies have reported invasive breast cancer associated with breast hamartoma. We identified IDC in only 1 case and LCIS in 1 other case. Although epithelial hyperplasia is not a characteristic feature of breast hamartomas, ductal epithelial hyperplasia was identified in 6 cases (22.2%). Wahner-Rodler et al. (37) reported this incidence rate as 26% in their large case series. These high coincidence rates are very important. Patients with a certain or suspected diagnosis of hamartoma must be operated and these patients should never be followed, even if their tumors are small.

In conclusion, we present our institutional experience with breast hamartomas in 27 patients. Although breast hamartomas are rare, benign lesions, these lesions can reach large sizes. A diagnosis can be made by core needle biopsy, along with an appropriate correlation of clinical and radiologic features. Breast hamartomas may be underdiagnosed because pathologists may categorize these lesions as fibroadenomas instead of hamartomas. Thus, the true incidence may be higher than the literature indicates.
