We report a 52-year-old woman who presented with a palpable mass beneath the left nipple. Ultrasound revealed a well-defined, lobulated, hypoechoic mass. Mammography demonstrated a radiopaque mass in a well-defined fat-containing lesion, suggestive of hamartoma. The patient underwent surgery due to enlargement of the tumor. The final diagnosis disclosed adenoid cystic carcinoma arising in a lipoma. The unique imaging findings have never been reported in literature.[SDGs]SDG3fat; adenoid cystic carcinoma; adult; article; breast carcinoma; cancer surgery; case report; echomammography; female; hamartoma; histopathology; human; human tissue; lipoma; lymph node dissection; mammography; mastectomy; nipple; palpationAdenoid cystic carcinoma of the breast arising in a lipoma mimicking hamartoma: Imaging manifestations and review of the literaturejournal article2-s2.0-44849100292
