Prmary adenomyoepithelioma of the skin-a variant of apocrine mixed tumor?
Analogous to adenomyoepitheliomas of the breast, cutaneous adenomyoepithelioma is composed of two components, one being myoepithelial, the other ductal epithelial, and it lies in the spectrum of neoplasms having a “pure” myoepithelioma at one end and a mixed apocrine tumor at the other. We present...
