Adenomyoepithelioma

The first full description of adenomyoepithelioma of the breast was published in  1970 by Hamperl (13). With the exception of 4 studies consisting, respectively,  of 6, 13, 18 and 27 cases (14,15,16,17), reports of these lesions have been case  studies (4,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26).

Clinical Presentation

Virtually all patients have been women ranging in age from 27 to 80 years  (average age, 58 years) in one series of 18 cases (16), and from 26 to 82 years  (average 63 years) among patients in another series and in various case reports.  Most patients present with a solitary unilateral painless mass located in a  peripheral portion of the breast. Occasionally the lesions have been found  centrally or near the areola (17,18,21,27) (Fig. 6.1). Nipple discharge, pain,  and tenderness are infrequent (17). The tumor has reportedly been palpable for a  year or more (16,17,23) before excision. Most patients describe recent onset.  The lesion was observed by mammography 2 years before excision in one case (16)  and the mammographic findings were considered to be suspicious in some patients  (16,20). Nonpalpable adenomyoepitheliomas measuring 1 to 2 cm can present as  well-circumscribed mass lesions on mammography and may be the target of needle  core biopsy sampling. Calcifications, although not typically present, have been  described in an adenomyoepithelioma (28). One malignant adenomyoepithelioma appeared to be cystic on mammography (24). Rarely, an  adenomyoepithelioma may be detected by sonogram but is inapparent on mammography  (12).

Berna et al. (29) described a partially cystic, 2.5-cm, circumscribed  adenomyoepithelioma that arose in an 84-year-old man. The tumor was  histologically benign, with immunoreactivity for actin and cytokeratin. Adenomyoepithelioma does not have a predilection for either breast. Data on  family history of breast carcinoma or of other significant diseases are rarely  mentioned in published case reports, and the information available does not  suggest any associated condition. Biochemical estrogen receptor (ER) and  progesterone receptor (PR) analysis performed on some tumors (16,30) yielded the  following results: ER+ (171 fmol); ER+ (44.7 fmol), PR–; ER+ (23 fmol), PR–; ER+  (13 fmol), PR–; ER–, PR–(3 cases). Another lesion also had positive (37 fmol)  ERs (25). When studied by immunohistochemistry, the glandular epithelial  component displays nuclear reactivity for ERs in most cases. PR reactivity is  often absent. Hormone receptors are almost always not present in the  myoepithelial component.

Gross Pathology

The reported grossly measured size of adenomyoepitheliomas varied from 0.5 to  8.0 cm, with an average and median size of about 2.5 cm. With rare exceptions,  the tumors have been described as solid, well-circumscribed, and firm or hard,  and lobulation is often noted (Fig. 6.2). Several lesions were described as  translucent. Tan, gray, white, yellow, and pink coloration have been mentioned.  Small cysts were observed in a minority of cases (16,17,20). Very large, grossly  cystic tumors can occupy a substantial part of the breast (Fig. 6.3). There does  not appear to be a good correlation between the gross appearance of the tumor  and its microscopic composition.

Microscopic Pathology

A spectrum of histologic patterns is encountered among these tumors and even  within different portions of a single lesion. Factors that influence these  variations include the proportions of proliferating glandular and myoepithelial  cells, the degree to which myoepithelial cells have a spindle or polygonal  configuration, the prominence of papillary components, and the extent of  fibrosis.

Microscopically, most adenomyoepitheliomas are circumscribed and composed of  aggregated nodules (Fig. 6.4). The majority of adenomyoepitheliomas are variants  of intraductal papilloma, but a small number of these tumors appear to arise  from a lobular proliferation or adenosis (Figs. 6.5 and 6.6). Clear cell  epithelioid myoepithelial hyperplasia in an adenomyoepithelioma with adenosis structure could be mistaken

for invasive carcinoma in a small biopsy sample (Fig. 6.6). The most unusual and  exceedingly rare adenosis variant of adenomyoepithelioma has an infiltrative  growth pattern that resembles microglandular adenosis (MGA) (Fig. 6.7). However,  MGA is characterized by absence of myoepithelium (see Chapter 7). Some  adenomyoepithelioma nodules consist of a single, compact proliferation of  epithelial and myoepithelial cells, but most lesions have one or more nodules in  which there is a focal papillary growth pattern. Sometimes the papillary  intraductal component extends into ducts outside the gross tumorous lesion. This  characteristic may be responsible for recurrence after seemingly adequate  excision. A minority of adenomyoepitheliomatous tumors consist largely or  entirely of intraductal papillary elements, an observation that supports the  conclusion that these lesions are variants of intraductal papilloma. In this  respect adenomyoepithelioma is closely related to ductal adenoma (20,31,32) and  pleomorphic adenoma (33,34). Foci of adenomyoepithelioma can frequently be  detected in tubular adenomas. They are less apparent in mammary pleomorphic  adenomas, in which an associated papilloma is usually evident.

The basic structural unit of the adenomyoepithelioma is a small round or oval  glandular lumen encompassed by cuboidal epithelial cells. At the periphery of  the glands are polygonal or spindle-shaped myoepithelial cells with clear  cytoplasm and a basement membrane (Fig. 6.8). The most common microscopic  pattern, referred to as the tubular type of adenomyoepithelioma, features a  balanced proliferation of round, oval, or tubular glandular elements invested by  of polygonal myoepithelial cells with clear cytoplasm. In some tumors,  myoepithelial cells with clear cytoplasm are more numerous than epithelial  cells, resulting in zones virtually devoid of glands (Figs. 6.9 and 6.10). Other  lesions feature myoepithelial cells, which proliferate in broad bands and trabeculae separated by strands of fibrovascular stroma (Figs. 6.11 and 6.12).  Collagenous spherulosis can develop in the stroma (Fig. 6.11). The contrast  between the dark-staining cytoplasm of glandular cells and the pale cytoplasm of  myoepithelial cells is striking (Fig. 6.13). Small glandular lumens formed  within the epithelial areas may have a pattern reminiscent of an endocrine  neoplasm. In papillary regions, distinct polygonal myoepithelial cells accompany  the epithelium in its various branches and ramifications (Fig. 6.14).

The epithelial cells tend to have sparse, darkly stained cytoplasm and hyperchromatic nuclei. In some cases, this produces a plasmacytoid appearance. Apocrine metaplasia  may be encountered in the glandular epithelium, particularly in papillary areas  (Fig. 6.15). The apocrine epithelium can be cytologically atypical. Glands  exhibiting sebaceous metaplasia are variably present (Fig. 6.16), and focal  squamous metaplasia (Fig. 6.17) occurs in a minority of cases. Cartilaginous  metaplasia of the stroma is rarely seen (Fig. 6.18). A previously undescribed  adenomyoepithelioma with mucoepidermoid differentiation has been encountered  (Fig. 6.19). Cytologic atypia and mitotic activity are very infrequent or absent  from lesions in which the myoepithelial cells retain a polygonal configuration  and there are conspicuous papillary areas. Stromal and myoepithelial elements  may have an adenoid cystic pattern. This may be manifested by the presence of  collagenous spherulosis (27) (Fig. 6.19). Calcifications are occasionally  present. Some tumors develop central fibrosis or ischemic necrosis leading to  calcification (Fig. 6.20). The cystic papillary type of adenomyoepithelioma is  very uncommon (Fig. 6.21).

The extent to which myoepithelial cells assume a spindly, myoid shape varies  greatly. Tumors that are composed entirely of such elements with no identifiable  epithelial cells are classified as myoepitheliomas and discussed separately in  this chapter. However, many adenomyoepitheliomas have only limited foci of  spindle cell myoid growth (Fig. 6.22). Usually the myoid areas have a mixture of  spindle and polygonal cells. The glandular component may be intermixed with  myoid areas or it may appear to be largely independent (Fig. 6.23). Palisading  of spindle cells and alveolar clustering of polygonal myoepithelial cells are  common myoid patterns. The latter configuration has been referred to as the  lobulated type of adenomyoepithelioma (17). A myoepithelial tumor of the male  breast composed of spindle cells arranged in a storiform pattern was described  by Tamura et al. (35). Despite the spindle cell phenotype, the neoplasm was most  strongly reactive for cytokeratin and S-100, with little staining for actin and  no vimentin reactivity. Cytologic atypia of myoepithelial cell nuclei may be encountered in lesions  where there is a tendency to form spindle cells resulting in a distinctly myoid  appearance (Fig. 6.24). In these foci, atypical features include scattered  mitotic figures, nuclear pleomorphism, hyperchromasia, and occasional  multinucleated cells. Myoid hyperplasia may give rise to areas with  leiomyomatous features (5,28) and rarely this process produces leiomyosarcoma  (5). Cytologic atypia and mitotic activity have also been described in the  lobulated type of adenomyoepithelioma (17).

Origin of a malignant neoplasm in an adenomyoepithelioma resulting in a  malignant adenomyoepithelioma has only very rarely been documented. Malignant  transformation may be limited to either the epithelial or myoepithelial  component, or both elements may be involved. Histologic evidence of malignant  growth includes mitotic activity, necrosis, cellular pleomorphism, overgrowth of  myoepithelium or epithelium, and invasion at the periphery of the tumor. Many of the lesions

purported to be malignant adenomyoepitheliomas have featured a spindle cell  component, and in some instances, the distinction from metaplastic carcinoma is  not clear (36). Some lesions were reported to have recurred locally  (15,37,38,39), whereas others resulted in metastases and a fatal outcome  (38,39,40,41). In one fatal case, the malignant component, described as  “undifferentiated,” lacked reactivity for cytokeratin and actin (41), but in  other tumors, these cytoskeletal components were immunohistochemically  detectable (38,40). Malignant adenomyoepitheliomas with a biphasic growth  pattern at the primary site and in metastases have also been reported (24) (Fig.  6.25). Myoepithelial carcinoma with an epithelial phenotype can arise in an  adenomyoepithelioma (Fig. 6.26). These neoplasms are characterized by overgrowth  of the myoepithelial component exhibiting mitotic activity and cytologic  evidence of carcinoma, often with foci of necrosis (38). Simpson et al. (39)  described a malignant adenomyoepithelioma with carcinomatous and osteogenic  elements. A case report by Jones et al. (42) documents a 3-cm malignant  adenomyoepithelioma, which had a substantial malignant spindle cell component  with mitoses and necrosis. The tumor gave rise to multiple liver metastases  composed of spindle cells. Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) analysis  revealed progressively more genetic alterations between the glandular and  spindle cell elements of the primary tumor and the liver metastases.

The group of tumors sometimes referred to as mixed tumors or pleomorphic  adenomas of the breast are variants of intraductal papilloma and  adenomyoepithelioma. These tumors are more frequently located in the subareolar  region than in the periphery of breast, and probably arise from large  lactiferous ducts (43,44). Most are solid, circumscribed tumors, but an  intracystic mural lesion has been described (44). Remnants of the underlying  epithelial lesion usually with myoepithelial cell hyperplasia can be found in  almost all of these tumors (43,45). A characteristic feature of many mixed  tumors in the breast is the formation of collagenized myxoid matrix that is  frequently converted into cartilage (Fig. 6.27). Calcification and ossification  occur in some mixed tumors as well. Various proliferative patterns are found in  the lesions, including foci that resemble cellular mixed tumor, and a distinct  papillary component (Fig. 6.28). The epithelium may develop squamous and  sebaceous metaplasia similar to the metaplastic changes that occur in  conventional adenomyoepitheliomas (Fig. 6.27). The cytologic findings in an FNA  specimen may suggest a phyllodes tumor when numerous bipolar spindle cells are  present or metaplastic carcinoma if the aspirate contains abundant metachromatic  stroma (46).

Immunohistochemistry

By and large the diverse cellular components exhibit expected histochemical  properties. Glands may contain periodic acid–Schiff (PAS)- or  mucicarmine-positive secretion, but intracytoplasmic secretion is rarely  detectable. The secretion is also positive for carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in  most cases. The cytoplasm of glandular cells tends to be strongly reactive with  antibodies to cytokeratin, and the luminal surfaces of these cells are positive  for epithelial membrane antigen (Fig. 6.29). Although most of the epithelial  cells are S-100 negative, small groups may be strongly reactive for this antigen  (Fig. 6.29).

Polygonal and spindle myoepithelial cells are not reactive for epithelial  membrane antigen (EMA) or CEA and are variably reactive for cytokeratin. The  distribution and intensity of staining obtained with anti-actin antibodies is  heterogeneous. Reactivity is most pronounced for smooth muscle myosin heavy  chain. Anti-actin staining tends to be more conspicuous in spindle than in clear  polygonal cells, and no reactivity is seen in epithelial cells (Figs. 6.29 and  6.30). Some myoepithelial cells are S-100 positive in virtually all tumors, but  the intensity and uniformity of reactivity varies considerably.

There does not appear to be a consistent relationship between staining with  anti-actin and anti-S100 antibodies in myoepithelial cells. Because S-100  reactivity is expressed by glandular and myoepithelial cells it is not a  specific marker for the latter cell type in adenomyoepitheliomas (47).

Immunostain markers that are relatively specific for myoepithelial cells include  CK5, CD10, myosin, calponin, and P63. P63 (Figs. 6.6 and 6.29) is especially  helpful because of its nuclear localization that precludes cytoplasmic  cross-reactivity which occurs sporadically with markers such as myosin,  calponin, smooth muscle actin (SMA), and CD10. The immunophenotype of neoplastic  myoepithelial cells is sometimes different from that of their normal  counterpart, and they are not necessarily reactive for all markers. Therefore, a  panel of immunostains should be used to minimize the likelihood of failing to  detect the presence of myoepithelial cells. Maspin (48,49) and p75 neurotrophin  receptor (p75NTR) (50) are presently additional investigational markers for  myoepithelial cells.

Electron Microscopy

Several papers have described the ultrastructural features of individual lesions  classified as adenomyoepitheliomas (3,14,18,25,26,30,51). In general, these case  reports have documented the presence of epithelial and myoepithelial components  in the lesions. Short microvilli are present at the luminal surfaces of  glandular cells, which are joined at the luminal edges by tight cell junctions.  The cytoplasm contains scattered mitochondria as well as smooth and rough  endoplasmic reticulum. Polygonal and spindle-form myoepithelial cells have  desmosomes that may be well or poorly formed, as well as interdigitating cell  processes. Keratin and actin cytofilaments are prominent in the cytoplasm of  myoepithelial cells, sometimes arranged in perinuclear bundles or peripheral  arrays. Fusiform densities or condensation zones are commonly found along these  arrays of cytofilaments. Distinct basal lamina material is found around and  among the myoepithelial cells.

Cytology

Aspiration cytology of a typical adenomyoepithelioma yields a cellular specimen  composed of relatively large epithelial cells distributed in clusters or  separately (30,52). The epithelial cells tend to have deeply staining cytoplasm  and prominent round to oval nuclei that may be eccentrically placed. Spindle  cells and myoid fibrillary material are variably present  in the background (52). The cytologic features may suggest a diagnosis of  carcinoma (12,53,54).

Prognosis and Treatment

The majority of adenomyoepitheliomas are benign tumors that can be treated by  local excision (16). Local recurrence has been reported, usually more than 2  years after the initial excision (4,15,17). In two cases, two (16) and three (4)  episodes of recurrence, may be attributed to incomplete excision. The  multinodular character of the lesion and peripheral intraductal extension in one  of these patients were probably contributory factors (16). There is no evidence  that cytologic atypia or the proportions of spindle and polygonal myoepithelial  cells are related to the risk for local recurrence. Carcinoma may be detected as  a separate lesion coincidentally or subsequent to excision of an adenomyoepithelioma (17). Adenocarcinoma was reportedly found in one recurrent  adenomyoepithelioma (17).

Re-excision may be performed when the tumor is incompletely excised, especially  for multinodular lesions with peripheral intraductal extension. Mastectomy,  breast irradiation, and axillary dissection are not appropriate treatment for  benign adenomyoepitheliomas but may be indicated for those exceptional patients  who have malignant tumors.
