SUMMARYTwo patients who presented with mobile breast lumps which were later diagnosed to be hamartomas are presented, along with a brief review of current literature. These benign lesions are likely to be increasingly diagnosed because of routine mammographic screening and hence clinical awareness is paramount to prevent these lesions from being overtreated.Hamartoma of the breast is a rare benign breast lesion which is unfamiliar to most clinicians. We herein report two examples of such a lesion and review the recent literature. The hamartoma presents as a soft well‐defined lump, causing considerable asymmetry of the breasts.
