โฆ Synopsis
Adenomyoepithelioma is an uncommon tumor of the breast which clinically presents as a discrete nodule and histologically is composed of lumenal spaces lined by a mixture of epithelial and myoepithelial cells. It has a spectrum of histologic appearances which are gradually gaining wider recognition. There are, however, only a few descriptions of the fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) findings in adenomyoepithelioma. We report the FNAB and histologic features of a mammary adenomyoepithelioma which contained a prominent epithelial component including a focus of marked epithelial atypia. This expands the spectrum of FNAB jindings which have been reported in adenomyoepitheli-

## Background: Adenomyoepithelioma (ame) of the breast is a rare neoplasm that is characterized by a biphasic proliferation of epithelial and myoepithelial cells. incomplete excision of this lesion is associated with a greater risk of recurrence. although the histology of ame is well characterized,
