Adenomyoepitheliomas are uncommon breast tumours. By definition they have a prominent component of myoepithelial cells, in addition to glandular elements lined by epithelial cells. Malignant adenomyoepithelioma of the breast is even more rare, characterised by malignant proliferation of epithelial and myoepithelial cells that show characteristic histological and immunohistochemical features. Only 11 cases have been reported to date. A case of malignant adenomyoepithelioma of the breast is reported.

In canine mammary neoplasms, greater inflammation is associated with higher histological grade, lymphatic invasion, and metastases. This retrospective study assessed the density of peri- and intratumoral tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs), and CD3 and CD79 lymphocytes in canine mammary neoplasms with a solid arrangement, and associated such data with histological types, immunophenotype, prognostic factors, cyclooxygenase-2 (Cox-2) expression and overall and cancer-specific survival. Sixty-one neoplasms with a solid arrangement were classified as malignant myoepitheliomas (6/9.

Adenomyoepithelioma (AME) is a rare variant of breast neoplasm. It is a biphasic tumour characterized by small epithelial-lined spaces with inner luminal cells and outer of abluminal (myoepithelial) cells. Either - or both - of these two cells may rarely undergo malignant transformation.

Article Synopsis
- Salivary gland-like tumors of the breast are rare and share similar features with salivary gland tumors, indicating a common origin in many cases.
- The main types include adenoid cystic carcinoma, secretory carcinoma, and mucoepidermoid carcinoma, which are often triple negative but generally have a better prognosis than high-grade triple negative breast cancers.
- Accurate classification of these tumors is crucial for treatment decisions, as some can be benign while others may behave aggressively, and identifying specific genetic markers can aid in diagnosis and management.
Adenomyoepithelioma of the Breast: A Case Report.

Pathology, Athens Euroclinic, Athens, GRC.
Adenomyoepithelioma (AME) is an uncommon breast tumor distinguished by the presence of both epithelial and myoepithelial cell proliferation. It often presents clinically as a well-circumscribed, non-painful mass, although it can also be asymptomatic and discovered incidentally during imaging. This case report describes a 32-year-old woman with a tumor that progressively increased in size.
