Abstract
Breast adenomyoepithelioma is a rare, benign proliferative tumor. It usually presents as a solitary unilateral painless mass at the periphery of the breast. Accurate diagnosis and differentiation from more aggressive tumors are important. Although the tumor bears a potential for recurrence, local excision with safe margins usually leads to a relatively benign course. We describe a 76-yearold woman who presented with a right breast lump for several months. Physical examination revealed a single well-defined mass with firm consistency and no evidence of associated axillary lymphadenopathy was found. Mammography revealed an opaque mass with linear microcalcifications and focal blurred margins. Excisional biopsy was performed and pathologic study revealed adenomyopeithelioma.
