Breast hamartomas are benign lesions composed of variety of normal breast components arranged in disorganized manner. These are rare and classified as adenolipoma, fibrolipoma, adenofibrolipoma, etc. Clinically these present as painless well-circumscribed, mobile lumps of breast. Incidence and etiology remain obscure due to its rarity. These have been described in women in their 40's or 50's. Mammographically they appear non homogenous mass with circumscribed fatty masses. Histologically they appear as circumscribed masses with variable amount of fat, fibrous and glandular tissue. Here we are presenting adenolipoma in 29-year-old woman with review of literature.
