Zusammenfassung:We report a case of a male infant who underwent resection of a unilateral breast mass with a histopathological diagnosis of a fibrous hamartoma of infancy (FHI) combined with a pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia (PASH).

To our knowledge, this is the first report of a combination of both pathologies in 1 lesion in the breast of an infant.
