Abstract
A case of a muscular hamartoma of the breast in a 47-year-old woman is presented. Tumors containing smooth muscle are rare in the breast. Radiologically it appears as a circumscribed tumor with homogeneous or varying density. Histologically these lesions are composed of ducts, lobules, stroma prominently adipose, and smooth muscle.
