Abstract
The breast adenomyloepithelioma is an unusual tumor characterized by the biphasic proliferation of epithelial and myoepithelial cells. Although most of these tumors are benign, they may be at risk of local recurrence and few cases with malignant transformation may have chances of metastasis. The clinical and imaging diagnosis has no characteristic features and, in general, a complete resection of the lesion is required for microscopic study and support in immunohistochemistry. When risk of local recurrence is present, a resection with wide margins is recommended. The clinical history was the primary source of information on the case and, as a complement, there was a literature search, in both English and Spanish, focused on the use of the words “Breast” and “Adenomyoepithelioma” and was retrieved from Pubmed database publications from the last 10 years.
