MYB rearrangement and immunohistochemical expression in adenomyoepithelioma of the breast: a comparison with adenoid cystic carcinoma

Abstract: Our results indicate that AMEs do not harbour MYB gene rearrangement. IHC for MYB may be helpful in diagnosing FISH-negative cases of ACC, particularly the diagnostically more difficult solid variants. However, weak to moderate MYB expression in a subset of AMEs highlights not only a potential diagnostic pitfall, but also shared pathophysiology with ACC worth investigating further at the genomic level.

“…Pathologically, they are characterized by a biphasic proliferation of both cell populations. There is a spectrum of histological patterns depending on the distribution of proliferating glandular cells, prominence of the papillary and fibrotic components, and the morphology of the myoepithelial cells [ 9 ]; thus, defining the tumor as papillary, lobulated, tubular, or with mixed architectural pattern [ 11 ]. Biologically, the majority of the tumors are benign, however, either the epithelial or he myoepithelial component or both, might undergo malignant transformation.…”

“…In a study conducted by Erza et al the tumor is reported as “AME with malignant transformation”, or “malignant AME” if the tumor exhibited overgrowth of either component, severe atypia, infiltrative growth pattern, increased mitotic activity, and/or necrosis. Tumors that do not possess all features were classified as “Atypical AME” [ 11 ].…”

“…Using a three-tiered approach, AME has been classified by some authors as benign, infiltrating and malignant. 12,[26][27][28] Later, the term 'atypical AME' was proposed as an alternative to infiltrating AME, with stromal infiltration not a diagnostic prerequisite 12,29,30 These atypical AMEs display clinical behaviour intermediate between benign and malignant AME 30,31 and show an intermediate immunoprofile, termed 'borderline AME' by some authors. 6 However, precise categorisation of AME remains challenging.…”
