Overview
Screening for sporadic hamartomas is not recommended. However, in case of familial inheritance hamartoses screening at early age is recommended.

- Annual thyroid ultrasound and skin check with physical examination.
- Monthly breast self-examination; annual breast and endometrial screening. (mammogram, transvaginal ultrasound, biopsy, MRI may also be incorporated)[1]
