RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Malignant transformation within hamartoma of the breast is uncommon. Invasive ductal or lobular carcinoma of the breast with this aetiology has been noted rarely in the literature. CONCLUSION: We discuss the diagnosis, radiology and pathology of a 79-year-old lady with an invasive ductal carcinoma arising within a breast hamartoma.

We present a case of mesenteric ischemia in a 32-year-old woman. The rarity of this potentially fatal condition in this age group, the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges associated with such a condition, and secondary causes that must always be investigated are highlighted. In this case, activated protein C resistance resulted in thrombosis of the superior mesenteric artery and subsequent bowel ischemia.
