Adenomyoepitheliomas of the breast are rare tumors that are characterized histologically as having both epithelial and myoepithelial components. While adenomyoepitheliomas are considered benign lesions, existing literature supports their potential for malignant transformation. These tumors also exhibit nonspecific and variable findings on noninvasive imaging, posing additional challenges in management. We present a rare case of an adenomyoepithelioma diagnosed in a 65-year-old female who was treated with surgical resection of her tumor, with histopathology negative for malignant transformation. By describing this patient's management course, we aim to contribute to existing literature analyzing adenomyoepitheliomas and help guide future treatment.
