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.
乳腺腺肌上皮瘤是一种罕见肿瘤,其组织学特征是同时具有上皮和肌上皮成分。虽然腺肌上皮瘤被认为是良性病变,但现有文献支持它们有恶变的可能性。这些肿瘤在非侵入性成像上也表现出非特异性和多变的表现,给治疗带来了额外挑战。我们报告一例罕见的腺肌上皮瘤病例,该病例发生在一名65岁女性身上,她接受了肿瘤手术切除,组织病理学检查显示无恶变。通过描述该患者的治疗过程,我们旨在为现有分析腺肌上皮瘤的文献做出贡献,并帮助指导未来的治疗。
