Abstract
A benign chondrolipomatous breast tumor occurred in a 66 yr old woman. The preoperative diagnosis, based on mammography and xeroradiography, was fibroadenoma. Grossly, the demarcated lesion resembled a fibroadenoma with islands of cartilage projecting from its cut surface. Histologically, it was composed of benign mature fibrous stroma, fat, breast ducts and islands of mature cartilage. Most cartilage containing tumors of the human breast are associated with primary mammary malignant neoplasms. A few benign cartilage containing tumors reported in the literature are discussed. The last case was published in 1909.
