Abstract
This review describes the classification, clinical presentation, pathological features and clinical behaviour of adenomyoepithelioma (AME) of the breast. It is based on an extensive review of the literature and study of a collection of cases built up over a 17-year period at the British Columbia Cancer Agency. The diversity of the morphology encountered in both benign and malignant AME is described. The behaviour of malignant AME seems to be related to the grade of the malignant component.
