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.
