Complex sclerosing lesion (CSL)/radial scar of breast is a benign entity that can pose a diagnostic challenge due to resemblance to breast carcinoma on imaging. Hamartoma are uncommon benign tumors, composed of disorganized mixture of glandular, fibrous, and adipose tissues, which can exhibit classical imaging characteristics. Here we describe a case of concomitant CSL and hamartoma in left beast, of which CSL presented as suspicious mass on imaging but was ultimately confirmed to be benign on histopathology with 4 years of documented stability.

A case of benign proliferative formation of the mammary gland of a rare histological form - subareolar sclerosing ductal hyperplasia in combination with papillomatosis of the nipple is presented. Pathology belongs to the group of complex sclerosing lesions. When setting the morphological (cytological, histological) diagnosis, it is necessary to take into account the clinical picture - the state of the nipple-areola complex, in particular, the presence / absence of nipple discharge and its involvement in the pathological process.
