Adenomyoepithelioma of the breast: a potential diagnostic pitfall on fine needle aspiration cytology.
Adenomyoepithelioma is a rare myoepithelial cell-rich tumour of the breast. We report a case of adenomyoepithelioma in a 60-year-old female, where it evoked the suspicion of a carcinoma on fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) smears and also review the literature on FNAC diagnosis of this rare tumour.
