(Case) 57 years old, female. (present case) A left breast mass had been observed approximately one week before. Breast ultrasonography showed a poorly mobile mass of approximately 2 cm in size in the CE region of theleft breast. A needle biopsy was performed, and the mass was removed for adenomyoepithelioma. However, themass recurred and was removed again. Histopathological examination revealed malignant adenomyoepithelioma,and mastectomy and sentinel node biopsy were performed as for breast cancer.(Discussion) It is difficult to diagnose malignant adenomyoepithelioma by preoperative examination. Since thedisease can recur, careful diagnosis and treatment to avoid overinvasiveness are necessary.
