Myoepithelial cells are widely present in the breast, and their hyperplasia may result in a spectrum of disease ranging from myoepitheliosis to myoepithelial carcinoma. CASE REPORT: A 46-year-old woman presented with a palpable mass in her right breast. Mammography and ultrasonography showed a lesion in the upper quadrant of the right breast with spiculated borders and shape. Excisional biopsy showed adenomyoepithelial adenosis. CONCLUSIONS: Although considered benign, adenomyoepithelial lesions tend to recur due to inadequate excision. Therefore, possibility of recurrence and even metastasis should be considered during follow-up of patients with a diagnosis of adenomyoepithelial lesions.
肌上皮细胞广泛存在于乳腺中,其增生可能导致一系列疾病,从肌上皮增生症到肌上皮癌。病例报告:一名46岁女性,右侧乳房可触及肿块。乳腺X线摄影和超声检查显示右乳上象限有一个边界呈毛刺状且形状不规则的病变。切除活检显示腺肌上皮腺病。结论:尽管腺肌上皮病变被认为是良性的,但由于切除不彻底往往会复发。因此,对于诊断为腺肌上皮病变的患者进行随访时,应考虑复发甚至转移的可能性。
