title: Hamartoma of an ectopic breast arising in the inguinal region.
abstract: Ectopic mammary tissue in the inguinal region giving rise to a hamartoma is reported. This localization of ectopic breast is infrequent and hamartomas of the breast at this site have not been described previously. The unusual size of the lesion caused pre-operative diagnostic difficulties.
