Abstract
Adenomyoepithelial adenosis of breast is a very rare type of adenosis. The proliferation
of epithelial and myoepithelial cells of breast together can result in spectrum of lesions
ranging from Adenomyoepithelioma, adenomyoepithelial adenosis and adenomyo epithelial
carcinoma. Adenomyoepithelial adenosis can transform into adenocarcinoma of breast and
myoepithelial carcinoma. The diagnosis, differentiation and follow up is mandatory with wide
local excision of the lesion with tumour free margins as it can recur, become malignant and
metastasise rarely with inadequate excision. Here we report a case of adenomyoepithelial
adenosis of the breast in a 30 years old female.
