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). Breast lumps are uncommon in infants and children, especially in boys. FHI and PASH are very rare causes of breast lumps, especially in infants. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a combination of both pathologies in 1 lesion in the breast of an infant.
