ABSTRACT
We report a case of adenomyepithelioma (AME), a rare tumor of the breast due to a proliferation of differentiated myoepithelial and epithelial cells in a 68-year-old patient. This lesion, controversial on the radio-clinical and especially on the anatomical-pathological level, evolves in most cases in a benign mode with an aggressive potential characterized by recurrences sometimes multiple recurrences. A malignant evolution with metastases is exceptional; explaining why some authors describe adenomyoepithelioma as a member of the group of myoepithelial tumors while others consider it a rare breast carcinoma.
