Abstract
Myoid hamartoma is a rare entity, and was first described by Davies and Riddell in 1973. It is pathologically defined as the mixture of fatty glandular tissue and fibrous connective tissue, associated with a widespread focus of fusiform muscle cells. Six cases of HM diagnosed in seven patients are presented, with emphasis on imaging findings and characteristics of their respective core biopsies. The importance of biopsy in these lesions is required to differentiate malignant diseases. There is no need for excisional biopsy, because this is not associated with high-risk lesions or carcinomas.
