Objective To study the clinical, histological and immunohistochemical features of breast hamartomas. Methods The specimens were fixed in 10% formalin and embedded in paraffin. The sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin for histological diagnosis. SP technique was used in the immunohistochemical study.Results We have 8 cases of breast hamartomas with well defined borders microscopically, histologically composed of ducts, lobules, fibrous stroma, adipose tissue. None of the epithelial elements showed any evidence of atypia. Immunohistochemical analysis showed that there was a variable number of epithelial cells showing a nuclear staining for estrogen receptor(ER) in all cases.Conclution Mammary hamartomas are benign tumor like lesions, histologically dissimillar from other breast tumors. It is affected by hormonal factors. The diagnosis is achieved by combining clinical, radiological and pathologic results.

Objective To evaluate one-stage procedure for the treatment of neonatal intermediate and high imperforated anus. Methods Clinical data of 21 neonates with intermediate or high imperforated anus undergoing one-stage surgical procedure were summarized. Results Postoperative complication included mucous overlap and soiling in 1 case, and occasional soiling in 2 cases. No postoperative constipation developed in any case. Conclusions Neonatal one-stage procedure avoids short comings often seen in staged procedures and needs no colostomy, promoting hyperplasia and prolongs sphincter during early stage, preventing secondary megacolon.
