Myoepithelial hamartoma is a very rare submucosal tumor of the stomach. Magnus-Alsleben first described 5 cases of this tumor in 1903. More recently (1993) Vandelli et al. published a review of the literature comprising only 33 cases. Histologically, the tumor is characterized by hypertrophic smooth muscle bands surrounding diverse epithelial elements that can be arranged in different ways: as a simple glandular structure, Brunner's gland, pancreatic ducts and occasionally pancreatic acinus. We report a case of myoepithelial hamartoma of the stomach simulating a gastric carcinoma.

Introduction And Importance: Periductal stromal tumors are rare breast neoplasms characterized by a unique combination of epithelial and mesenchymal tissue. Due to their infrequent occurrence, these tumors are often misdiagnosed as other breast lesions.
Case Presentation: A 47-year-old female presented with a right breast swelling.

Article Synopsis
- Two benign adenomatous lesions in the sinonasal tract are recognized, REAH and SH, but researchers identified 10 new related lesions averaging 3.6 cm in size.
- These new tumors feature a distinctive component called atypical sinonasal glands arising in SH (ASGSH), characterized by atypical cell structures, secretory layers, and unique shapes with secretions reminiscent of thyroid follicles.
- Genetic analysis revealed mutations in the BRAF, RET, and FAT1 genes among these lesions, suggesting a neoplastic nature and supporting their classification as new entities in the sinonasal tract.

Pancreatic myoepithelial hamartoma is a rare, benign solid and cystic lesion of the pancreas. We present the first case of an adult with a giant myoepithelial hamartoma extending throughout the pancreas in a patient with diabetes in 4 immediate family members. The patient is a 46-year-old man presented with recurrent acute pancreatitis.

Apocrine hamartoma is a rare benign neoplasm. The histology is characterized by an excess of apocrine glands located predominantly in the reticular dermis. Pigmented apocrine hamartoma represents a histopathological variation of apocrine hamartoma containing tubules and linear cysts covered by apocrine cells on the inside with melanin and on the outside with myoepithelial cells.
