A rare breast tumor; Adenomyoepithelioma: a case report and review of the literature

Abstract

Adenomyoepithelioma is rare benign breast neoplasia characterized by the proliferation of both epithelial and myoepithelial cells of themammary lobules and ducts. This tumour, which does not have specific risk factors and radiological findings, is mostly seen in advancedages. This tumour, which occurs with the biphasic proliferation of epithelial and myoepithelial cells, also contains normal breast lobules andducts. This tumour is very difficult to diagnose and includes many radiological and pathological pitfalls. Although malignant degenerationhas been reported in the literature, it is a rare condition. In this study, we present a rare case with radiologically suspicious findings andpathologically reported as adenomyoepithelioma.
