Abstract :

Breast myoepithelioma is a rare condition and is sparely reported in literature. Breast myoepithelioma can occur in women aged between early 20’s to late 80’s.Incidence of east myoepithelioma is reported to be 1–1.5%. Malignant transformation of this condition is even more rarely reported. Here we report a case of 27–year female who presented with 6 months history of lump over left east . USG and FNAC showed possibility of a malignant condition probably phyllodes, but it was not confirmatory. Excision biopsy was done and histopathological examination showed ill– defined proliferation of spindle cells in short whorls and irregular single cells and a differential diagnosis of myoepithelioma/ leiomyoma/ nodular fasciitis was made. Immunohistochemistry was performed which showed positivity for smooth muscle actin and CD10 and final diagnosis of benign east myoepithelioma was made. This case is reported for its rare location in east which requires prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment to prevent local recurrence.
