Malignant Adenomyoepithelial Tumour of the Breast — a Rare Diagnosis — Case Report

Malignant Adenomyoepithelial Tumour of the Breast — a Rare Diagnosis — Case Report Breast adenomyoepithelioma is an unusual tumour characterized by a biphasic proliferation of epithelial and myoepithelial cells. Most of the breast adenomyoepitheliomas are considered to be benign and characterized by propensity for local recurrence. Malignant change can occur rarely in one or both cellular components. We here present a case of a 70-year-old previously healthy female who initially presented with a painless breast lump. The patient underwent wide local excision in view of suspicion of malignancy and sent for frozen section regarding the diagnosis and margins which surprisingly came as adenomyoepithelioma. Final histopathology came as low-grade malignant adenomyoepithelioma. The patient shows no sign of tumour recurrence in the follow up. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Indian Journal of Surgical Oncology Springer Journals

Abstract

Breast adenomyoepithelioma is an unusual tumour characterized by a biphasic proliferation of epithelial and myoepithelial cells. Most of the breast adenomyoepitheliomas are considered to be benign and characterized by propensity for local recurrence. Malignant change can occur rarely in one or both cellular components. We here present a case of a 70-year-old previously healthy female who initially presented with a painless breast lump. The patient underwent wide local excision in view of suspicion of malignancy and sent for frozen section regarding the diagnosis and margins which surprisingly came as adenomyoepithelioma. Final histopathology came as low-grade malignant adenomyoepithelioma. The patient shows no sign of tumour recurrence in the follow up.
