title: Magnetic resonance image appearance of hamartoma of the breast.
abstract: The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of a breast hamartoma are presented. The hamartoma was evaluated using several imaging techniques with and without gadolinium-DTPA. This case demonstrates that, in selected cases, MRI is of value as an adjunct to mammography and sonography.
