“…Some studies have reported negative staining for S-100 protein, α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), desmin and bcr-2 in the stroma cells [ 11 , 15 , 17 ]. In contrast, other cases, including the present case, showed positive staining for S-100 protein in the mature adipose tissue and ductal components [ 12 , 19 , 20 ].…”

“…This tumour is characterized by soft tissue masses of different sizes (ranging from 0.3 to 14 cm), while over 50% of cases (29/37) were no more than 3 cm [6,7,[9][10][11][12][13][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. On US, PH is usually observed as a hypoechoic mass with a clear boundary [11,17,19,21]. On CT, the mass is usually well defined, and the internal density of most of the solid lesions is slightly uneven, with low iso-intensity and heterogeneous progressive contrast enhancement in the delayed phase [9,13].…”

“…Pancreatic hamartoma is extremely rare and accounts for <1% of hamartoma; the etiology is unknown and the disease has a low morbidity ( 2 ). With the increased utilization of imaging technology, such as endoscopic ultrasound, there has been an increased detection of asymptomatic lesions of the pancreas; however, the differentiation between hamartomas and other benign tumors or malignancies is extremely difficult ( 3 ). The final diagnosis is usually made according to histopathological and immunohistochemical results ( 4 ).…”

“…Pancreatic hamartoma can be divided into two subgroups: Solid and cystic, or solid ( 6 ). The majority of cases reported in the literature are cystic hamartomas ( 1 3 , 7 13 ). The present study reports the case of a solid pancreatic hamartoma that was diagnosed after surgery.…”
