Adenolipoma of the breast is an uncommon mammary lesion classified as a hamartomatous lesion,
presenting as a soft, mobile and well-defined mass. The typical mammographic findings is of a wellcircumscribed
lesion containing both fat and soft tissue surrounded by a capsule. Microscopically,
adenolipoma exhibits a hamartomatous mixture of ducts and lobules intermingled with adipose and
fibroconnective tissue. Enucleation is the standard treatment and recurrences are rare. We report
a 29-year-old woman with a mobile, tender and firm mass, 6 x 5 cm, in the upper inner quadrant
of the right breast of 1 month duration. Mediolateral mammography images demonstrated a welldefined
mass with mixed granular and fat density. Histopathology of the excised mass revealed
well-circumscribed lobules of ducts and glandular structures haphazardly embedded in mature
fatty tissue. Breast hamartoma should be differentiated from other benign lesions of the breast.
Awareness among radiologists and pathologists of this benign lesion would help avoid an incorrect
diagnosis and unnecessary intervention.

To explore the spatial accumulation of diseases and their aggravating factors are essential in all public health. This study attempts to use geographic information system (GIS) to provide more information about the incidence and future of anthrax. Methods: Patients were diagnosed with anthrax in Kurdistan Province from 2009 to 2016. Data was then exported into ArcGIS software version 9 and the required layers for years and areas were added.Final map for each year was drawn up, pointing out the hot spots and predicting its future pattern. Results: Most cases were reported in females (57 cases, 54.80 %), and the lower body limbs were most affected (63 cases, 60.57%). The highest numbers of incidences were related to the cities of Marivan, Saqez and Divandareh, with more concentration in the central parts of the province, rather than borderline areas. The highest percentage of the probable incidence of the disease was in Sanandaj (57.74%) with a potential susceptible area of 1 729.12 km
