Adenomyoepithelioma of the breast: A rare case from the Mankweng Hospital breast oncology clinic, Limpopo Province, South Africa
Abstract
Adenomyoepithelioma of the breast is a rare benign breast neoplasm. It is characterised by the proliferation of both epithelial and myoepithelial cells. Although it is benign, adenomyoepithelioma has a potential for recurrences and malignant transformations. Here, we report a case of a 69-year-old woman with a breast adenomyoepithelioma that had been resected twice before her admission to Mankweng Hospital. It was a fast-growing tumour involving the retro-areolar area and left inner quadrant of the breast. Applied treatment included wide-simple mastectomy with sentinel axillary lymph nodes biopsy.
