Abstract

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) and adenomyoepithelioma (AME) are uncommon neoplasms of the breast that are more commonly noted in the salivary glands. AMEs are benign tumours that are known to undergo malignant transformation. This report describes the first case of a MEC arising in AME in a woman in her 50s.
